Adding my prayers to many already ascending for a successful surgery and easier recovery than last time. I will be there at the Cleveland Clinic having my mitral valve repaired by Dr. Gillinov a month from now. Your very thorough blog is a blessing, albeit a bit scary.

So glad your test went well and that the results showed the reason for your breathlessness and tiredness and that surgery will bring you back to good health. What a wonderful testimony of your faith and the power of prayer of people who love you and are upholding you to the Lord, to know you are spiritually and emotionally ready for your surgery. I know God is with you and with your surgeon and all who are attending you - to God be the thanks and glory!
