Curtsmum
Got to meet the surgeon today. He says there is a 50/50 chance he can repair the valve. Now for the not so good news because the defect is not so common, the valve will eventually be replaced anyway. He thinks that repairing and getting Curtis a few more years is better than replacing the valve now, althow he can't guarentee we will get years out of the repair. If he as no choice of repairing when he gets inside he will be using a st jude valve. We are feeling a little down hearted at the minute, a repair should be a good thing but knowing we will have to go through this a 3rd time, is a nightmare to say the least. Both me and Dave are happy with the surgeon and his experience and there for will be going along with what ever he feels is best for Curtis.
