open heart surgery

18 years ago

Hi everyone. I don't think I have asked you guys for anything like this before. But i'm so worried about one of my granddaughters. Aly ( Alissa) is 13 years old and a good kid. When she was born, they discovered that she has a hole in her heart, she has a clogged artery and is missing a leaflet. The leaflet if it was there would let the blood flow through her heart then close so it doesn't back into the heart aagain. Tomorrow she will be having open heart surgery at Hershey Medical Center to fix all these problems. They wil repair the hole, put a leaflet in and remove the artery and replace it with a cadaver artery. I know that the medical field has made great strides in this field but somehow this isn't very comforting to me right now . I am sure that I will be a wreck until it is all over and I know that she will be okay. If anyone has some leftover prayers, I will gladly take them for Aly. Thank you so much. Vique.
