Title: FROM BAD TO WORST
Post by: MasterWolf1 on July 18, 2007, 12:33:49 PM
I have worst news then the other day, my uncle was the relative who was in the hospital and they did an angioplastic which is that test they send from the groin area up into the heart. And one of the valves was so tighten cause he was born with 2 instead of 3 valves so he will need open heart to replace the valve.  What alarmed him was the diabetic attack it turned to a chain reaction.  This is hard time right now.  But the faith in God that I have will be what I need and that he pulls out of this.

I sorry to hear that MW!
With all the new advances in Cardiac angioplasty and angiography, open heart surgery should be much safer because of the road map the surgeons have to work with before they even start. It's a much safer procedure nowadays.
Will leave it in the hands of G-d, and pray.

My family went thru a similar experience a few years ago - a valve replacement and bypass - with my Dad.
He 81 now - and still hanging in there.  It was a very stressful experience.
I pray your relative makes a swift and speedy recovery.
I also pray that you and your family have the strength to help him thru it.

Today you must be a patient advocate as well as a family member - so don't be afraid to ask questions and speak up if you feel something is wrong.

My 10th grade geometry teacher had a valve replacement and triple bypass surgery and he recovered well.  It seems like you care very much about your uncle masterwolf and I have no doubt that you will be a tremendous source of support and strength for him during this difficult time.  I'm hoping for the best for your uncle, we are all rooting for him.   :)

And this should be something for all of you being that I do care, watch your health. Unfortunatly no one really found out the valve that wasn't there till they made a sonogram, same test they use for pregnant women for their babies, but this is for internal organs.  If you have these illnesses in your family bloodlines to keep close watch.
