hi,
after all that hemming and hawing, my dad is finally having minimally invasive surgery (we hope) on thurs. sept. 14. they will be doing a cath on wed. sept. 13 and as long as there are no coronary issues, dr. colvin will do a minimally invasive mv repair and tricuspid repair.
we are all a bit nervous since he's already had avr and has a st. jude's mechanical valve and is on coumadin, hence additional factors to consider..
but we have the utmost confidence in dr. colvin. in fact, most folks say his bedside manner leaves a lot to be desired, but when my dad, mom and brother met with him this summer, they all liked each other a great deal.
go figure.
will keep you posted on this one...
stay well all,
sylvia
