Guest guest Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 Alice, This is such good news....I'm so happy to hear! Thanks for sharing. Kristie Message: 13 Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2003 12:03:35 -0700 (PDT) Subject: A Special Thanks From My Son and Daughter-in-lawI've waited a few days to send out an email with anupdate about my daughter so as to make sure we onlyneeded to send one message so here goes..As many of you are aware my seven year old daughterunder went a serious open heart surgery this pastThursday. The procedure while not always dangerouswas in her case very dangerous due to prior operationsand scar tissue. Prior to the operation the surgeonhad explained to my wife and I that the procedurewould last between 12-15 hours, with an expectedsuccess rate of 75%. Not the kind of odds you wantwhen your child is being operated on, but understooddue to the situation.Anyhow the procedure began at 9 am last Thursdaymorning, around noon the surgeon's nurse came to tellus that they had finally gotten in and all was goingwell so far. She promised to come back every couple hours with an update. At 2:15 the nurse returnedwith a very huge smile on her face, she explained thatthey were done. I asked what does done mean, sheexplained that done meant everything went flawlessly,without any problems and or challenges and that therepair was a complete success. She further explainedthat this surgery would probably be the last she wouldneed to correct the problem she had. She said that once things healed, that would for allpurposes be able to function as a normal healthyperson, with only concern for the things we all deal with. This problem as many of you know is aheart defect was born with. Seven years agowhen she was born there was no way to correct theproblem, today there is.Well despite a challenge with a medication over theweekend has recuperated well enough thattoday she was dismissed from the hospital and is nowhome. We want to thank everyone for their kindwords, prayers, cards, meals, gifts and letters.LarryLarry | District Solutions Director | GreatLakes & Northcoast Districts Novell, Inc., the leadingprovider of information solutions Office Phone: NY | MI Fax: http://www.novell.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
