Just read this on PDHeart. It's also posted on Justin's page. Justin's cath went great - no complications, but the news was not so good. Justin needs another OHS. I know they must be sick about this. I know I got a knot in the pit of my stomach just reading the update. This is a such a blow! I know Lyn would appreciate your support and prayers, so let's get started on those now please. Lyn, (((hugs))) you have our love and I'm so, so sorry sweetie! The prayers will continue as well.

Hi- This is Lyn's friend Dorothy doing an update.
Justin is out of his cath and did great . That is the good news. Lyn said his heart pressures were equal on both sides and his heart looked great,his conduit is great but the not so good news is that he needs another OHS. The conduit is evidently narrowed at the place where it connects to his heart so they need to open him up to replace it. Lyn asked if they could do a stent or cath but no it has to be open heart and it has to be soon. So of course this is not what we wanted to hear and we will all be praying. Lyn asked me to let you all know since she knows how many people are waiting for news. Lyn also said she will let everyone know when they have coordinated everything for the surgery.
