Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I am so glad to hear she is home. I know the frustration of dealing with extra meds/ issues post op, but hopefully these issues will subside as her body heals and accepts the new valve. My prayers have and will remain with you guys.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Thank you for the prayers. Mercede was able to come home today. She is having problems with an irregular heart beat and came home on more medicines then she was taking before the surgery. They thought that the only med she would be on after the surgery was coumadin, but she is on lasix, digoxin and amiodarone. We have to record her heart each day and play the recording back to a place that will turn it over to her cardiogist and surgeon. They are hoping her beats will straigten out and no further surgery will be needed. Since she is on coumadin now she needs lots of blood draws to check her levels. I am hoping she won't have to have them this weekend, as she wants to see her Grandma in St ph. My mom also has my other two girls with her, so I would like to go pick them up. Mercede is still pretty sore and worn out, but that is to be expected. Judy, call me if you would like to get together at my mom's again. Been YEARS since I saw you guys. My number is . I know we will be there by sat afternoon and most of Sunday. Gayla, mom to 23, Mercede 16 & Ce Ce 14 (both with DS) and Aysha 2 1/2 I will definately pray for Mercedes and her doctors, please keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Gayla, You are an amazing woman! So happy to hear that Mercede is home! To read what was going on with her was a tough read, and I'm not even her Mom. This listserve feels like we are really all tied together with heartstrings, like many poets have written. What happens to any of us affects all of us. I'm so grateful for the sisterhood and the family that this listserve provides. I will continue to pray for Mercede to heal 100%. She will do sooo much better at home than in the hospital. Best wishes, Granata Mom to Haley & Nikki, 4 yr twin girls, both w/DS, and , 2 1/2 yr son Gayla Palmero wrote: > Thank you for the prayers.
