Post-Surgery ICU Upate
She came through the surgery well! She is currently in the Intensive Care unit. I just visited with her briefly and she looks good. She is currently sedated. It will be about 3-4 hours before she comes out of sedation. We briefly met with the surgeon. When I get a chance to sit down with my dad, we'll put our heads together and let you know what the surgeon said. The surgeon did say that it will be 6 months to one year before she feels the full benefit of the surgery. Basically, her heart was working very hard in its impaired condition. Now her heart won't have to work so hard. I will be back down to the hospital this evening, and will be giving more updates as they come in. Thank you so much for all your prayers. They worked.

So glad about this blog to keep updated on MaryAlice. She is loved by so many. The thought that strikes me repeatedly since hearing of the aortic stenosis diagnosis is that MaryAlice exhibited fantastic intuitive wisdom about her cardiac output status as exhibited by her contentedness to stay at home while all the rest of the family went for a 'run'. Had she not followed her gut on this lifestyle who knows? Way to go dear MaryAlice.
Love,
your cousin, Cath
Laura,

Whitney and Anne were so

you all. Love, Aunt Kathy
