My mom has to have heart surgery on Wednesday, August 20, we just found out yesterday.

She has to have her heart valves replaced. She's 73 years old.

I'm really, really scared and worried. Please pray for her.

Thanks.

Twisterdog,

I'll be praying hard for you and your mom.

Take care,
Kelly

I'm so sorry to hear that :(

You and your mother will be in my thoughts.

Prayers and positive thoughts are on the way for you and your mom. Please take care.

Your Mom and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hugs

I'm sorry! Your mom and your family will be in my prayers! :(

Thoughts, prayers, and bright blessings for her. *hugs*

Don't worry, she'll be ok. I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

I'll be praying that everything goes smoothly. :)

Twisterdog, I know you are worried. My mom had to have her aortic (did I spell that right) valve replaced several years ago. She had a congenital problem and it was beginning to restrict her blood flow and it restricted her on what she could and couldn't do. The surgery is intense, but we felt good knowing that open heart surgery is done so frequently and with so much success. Mom did great. She swears to this day that the worst part of the whole process was when they did the catherization the day before the surgery. Turned out that she was allergic to the dye they used and her blood pressure dropped dramatically. It was very scary. But her recovery went well and she felt so much better after it was done. Her energy level increased dramatically. I think she almost wished she had done it sooner.

Best of luck to your mom. I will definitely keep her in my prayers.

I am sure you must be very frightened and worried. You can count on my prayers for your Mom and also for you. In a few days time, you will be posting the good news that all is well.

Your mom will be in my thoughts. Best wishes for a successful surgery and quick recovery.

Many prayers and good wishes for your mom and for you.

Keep a positive attitude - I believe that can really help, along with the prayers from your family and your friends here at PetTalk.

I can only imagine how scared you must be. As today is Thursday now, I hope everything went well! Let us know. I haven't read the last post yet. Hope everythings ok.

All the best for Wednesday and hoping your mum recovers quickly from the surgery.

Positive thoughts to your mom and you....

Thanks, everyone.

Her surgery is Wednesday, Aug 20 and the catherization is Tuesday, Aug 19. I probably won't be online for a while, as she will be in ICU at least 5-7 days, and who knows how long after that before she is released. *sigh* Wolf-Q, want to come play scrabble at the hospital with me? ;)

That is exactly what my mom is going through, except her heart problems were caused by rheumatic fever as a child.

Sending your mom lots of good get well wishes for her surgery
on Wed.

Prayers and positive thoughts are still on the way for both you and your mom. Take care.

My prayers and thoughts will be with you and your Mom on the 20th.
Even though you said you probably won't be online for awhile, could you please just post to let us know how your Mom came through the surgery.

If your Mom is in relatively good health, I'm sure everything will go just fine. I know a few people who have had open heart surgery and they are doing very well. They say they feel like a whole new person.

Your Mom and you will be in my prayers. Please let us know how she is doing. Hugs to you both.

My prayers and thoughts are with your mother during this time.
Please let us know how she does.

Thinking about you and your Mom. Did everything go well on Wednesday? Continued prayers coming your way. Hugs.

Continued prayers for you at this critical time. Let us know how your Mom is doing when you have a chance.
