Peter's rescheduled heart surgery is tomorrow, Friday, April 3rd. Peter's doctor assigned to his surgery was called to be involved in a heart transplant for a baby during the night prior. So the surgery never happened on March 18th. Tomorrow morning at 7:30 A.M., his pulmonary valve will be removed from its place and replace his aortic valve (that will be forever removed). A transplant valve will be used to replace the pulmonary valve. He'll be on a heart and lung bypass machine. This way the heart and lungs don't have to work... a machine will pump and oxygenate the blood for his body while the doctors can work their magic! This is of course, what I've heard second hand of what will happen...
We are all very excited and yet anxious as well! It seems to occupy many of my thoughts these days. Keep him in your prayers...again!
