John here, posting for Carole. She went into surgery earlier than expected and all went well--praise the Lord. I already talked to her surgeon, but have not been able to go back and see her yet. He said that her valve was definitely rhuematic, and was in terrible shape. He reported that the surgery went extremely well, and that after she recovers she should feel better than she has in a long time. I hope to be able to go back and see her in a short while. Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. I will report again later this evening or tomorrow. Please continue praying that everything continues to go well and that she has a speedy covery with no complications.
thanks,
John
