So we went to Dr Miller at Stanford and the scheduled date is 9/30/2008. Still a little far off, due to Dr Miller being out for most of the month of August.
Dr Miller was AMAZING and I am so glad we are going to him.
As it turns out the aneurysm is 6.1 at it biggest and it will need to be replaced up into the arch of the aorta, sparing the branches.
Another bit of information is that he is going to leave in the previous aortic, St Judes, valve and not replace it with another one. He thinks there should be no problems in the future with it.
Keep us in your prayers...
