Mama is headed back to her room in the cardiac wing, where she will remain for the next few days. Her surgeon's PA came and assured us Dr. Jones was on his way. He came in with a confidence only a successful operation must bring to a Doctor who loves what he does, and assured us that Mama did wonderfully well.
Her valve was very badly damaged and was replaced with a "medium Pig Valve" and is working well.
He said she had no problem coming off the heart lung machine, that they did the procedure in her heart to stop the Atrial Fibrillation, and she is now in a normal sinus rythem for the first time in 5 weeks(I think). That brought a roar and a wave from the crowd, and a big thank you God from ALL of the fans.
The next five or 6 days will be critical and tough ones and we thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts and ask that you continue to remember her. Her Pastor, Tony I think, has been here with us most all of the time
Dr. Jones was bearing six color photograph's of the new valve being placed in the heart, he left them for Connie's Scrap book I guess. She prints off all of the Blog entries and the comments so mama will have a copy to help her recall these tough days. All of my siblings are up on D floor in the waiting room, and you can call to the waiting room if you need to, someone will find us.
I guess thats all the stuff I can recall, I am using my computer from the cafeteria here in the hospital. We will be looking for your great comments. Please excuse my skips as my keys seem sticky today

Grandma,
I have been trying all morning to get into this blog. While you were in surgery I was fighting with this computer and praying. Calling Creig, praying and praying. But Now you are out of surgery and news is great. You keep up what you are doing and the family is taking care of the prayers. Love you lots.
I tried several times this morning to post an update. It just wouldn't work!
I may dump all of my Google stock!
