Joe had his appt. with the cardiothoracic surgeon today and he is on the road toward surgery, pending the approval of the cardiologist.
He will have minimally invasive surgery through the rib and will probably have a mitral valve replacement to correct a leaky mitral St. Jude valve.
His condition has worsened to the point that he can hardly function and had his second course of Zaroxolyn to rid his body of extra fluid. He's very fatigued and short of breath.
He's quite relieved and so am I.
We don't have a date yet and the hospital hasn't been decided, but he will have the same surgeon who did his lung surgery and mitral valve surgery.
