From Penny's daughter:
"My mom Penny was admitted in the hospital today with what they think is an infection on her vavle. She should be out next week sometime but will have to be on IV antibiotics for the next 4-6 weeks. Hopefully it clears up!"
Hang in there Penny! And let us know what's going on when you feel better. Sorry you're going through all this.

Sounds like endocarditis. Prayers Penny, and let us know how you are faring....The IV antibiotic sucks... I only had it for 10 days for a non-heart related infection.
I'm sorry to hear she does have an infection. But so glad to hear she is finally getting antibiotics and treated for it.
Penny you are in my prayers. Hang in there.
Best wishes to Penny as she fights off this infection.
So sorry to hear that Penny has to go through this. You are in my thoughts and prayers Penny.
I am glad that this is being addressed.

Hi Penny, I found the site. Thanks. I think of you often. I wish you a quick recovery...this is crazy and I imagine scary too. If there is anything I can do please let me know. Connie
I hope this turns around for you and you get down that road to recovery.
Just wondering if anyone has had an update on how Penny is doing. Thinking of her and sending prayers and positive thoughts...

Hi,
Am new on here and see that you have a mechanical valve, am in the process of deciding on my first VR and would love to hear your imput on how you are making out with the mechanical/warfin. I too need to have the ascending aorta fixed - how did it all go?
thanks,
ben

Hey there Ben! Welcome to VR.ORG and post away. Why don't you start a new thread in the "Pre-Surgery" thread and tell us about yourself. Also, have a look at the search function above when you have questions. Loads of subjects have been covered and it's a good place to start with questions. Again, bienvenidos..!
Hey Everyone this is Penny's daughter Lindsey again. I just wanted to let you know that Penny is still in the hospital and will hopefully be coming home tomorrow. She has had an IV pick put in and is just waiting for her info session on how to use it and then she will be released. I'm sure she is looking forward to talking to all of you again. She's been pretty bored in there!
