The surgery is complete! They had to take out the first valve (a pig valve) and replace it with a mechanical valve. The surgeon said he had to do this because Gma has a very small heart. The size of the first one was not a good match. Doug says he is sure they have the wrong woman if they think her heart is too small! I agree!
She should wake up in an hour or so...
Thank you all for your prayers and positive thoughts!
