Mimi's This and That: Case study........

Today, my dear sweet husband is checking into the hospital for a new heart valve. He is an inoperable patient because of his cancer. So....he is the second person to receive this particular valve at the heart and vascular center of Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Texas Medical Center.

The doctors at MD Anderson Cancer Center and UT Physicians Valve Clinic, have all contributed to my husbands care and we both truly appreciate all they have done and continue to do for us and others. They have him approved for this procedure as a case study. (scary words) But in truth, this is cutting edge technology. I would rather have a valve replaced this way, than being cut and cracked open.

I feel blessed that the doctors have approved him for this procedure and look forward to a happy and extended life together.

Please say a prayer for him for a full and speedy recovery. God bless you John and God bless the medical team caring for you.
