VISIT WITH LAURIE UPDATE - JULY 12TH @ 4:20PM
Well, i just got another phone call from Brenda. They've been in with Laurie for the past hour or so. Brenda says that shes doing well, she's in and out of consciousness right now. When shes conscious shes squeezing their hands to give them encouragement. Of course, as soon as she woke up she immediately started motioning that she wanted to write. She wrote 'feel like i cant breath'. Right now she is breathing on her own with the respirator still in place. The nurses told Laurie that this was normal due to the tube. Her vitals look good and they hope to get the tube out soon!
Brenda said that she cant believe how much better she looks Post OP in comparison to the last two surgeries. She said that she looks as if she only had a minor surgery! The nurses asked them to leave the room so that they can wash her up and reposition her so that shes sitting up. Right now Laurie's just really trying to stay awake...I'm sure the reason for that is so she can ask questions!
More to follow,
Joanne

Joanne, thank you for the updates! I am so glad things went well. It is unfortunate that she did not get the exact valve she wanted, but beggars can't be choosers!! Coumadin is not the end of the world, but it is a PITA!!! She is a trooper....and I can feel her rolling her eyes at the "smallest heart" comment!!! Hahaha...She is a lucky lady that #3 went well, b/c of the risks of scar tissue, etc...hopefully this will be the last in a VERY long time!! Keep us updated!! Thank you....Wendy
