Positive Thoughts Appreciated
My 15-year-old nephew Ian is undergoing pulmonary heart valve replacement surgery on Wednesday, May 25. This open-heart procedure was done on him as a newborn and it was always known he'd need this surgery again later in life. My brother said Ian made the decision to have the surgery as soon as school ended for the year so he's taken part in the planning. The decision was based on his need to improve his quality of life and I'm so very proud of him for understanding the risks and rewards of such a decision. Surgery will be performed in Albuquerque by a surgeon who has a positive success rate with this operation. He is very confident that all will go well. I believe more support can't be a bad thing so if you would, send some posi-vibes, prayers, thoughts to my brave nephew for a successful surgery and recovery.
