Robert's Posts

Lyn got Rob home safely to Janesville. Lyn went Grocery shopping for Rob so he would be stocked up for awhile. Lyn was originally suppose to come home Christmas eve the 24th . But I got her a flight out today if all is going well she is at the airport now actually she just called. The plane is delayed 15 min but she will be arriving today Lyn will be home for Christmas. Rob called me last night to thank me for all I did with keeping this Journal updated and keeping all of you the family and friends updated and informed. He stated to me last night that this is the best he has felt in 17 to 18 years. He attributes it all to the replacement of the Aorta and the larger valve. Digressing a few days I want to share with all of you how this journal came to be . On Dec 11th I woke up at 1:30 AM stressed out . My step son Rob is going thru valve replacement surgery and I am clueless on what to expect. My fears and anxiety was getting the best on me. I searched Google on line " Heart Valve replacement surgery" . It came up with this book, The Patients guide to Heart Valve Surgery by Adam Pick. . I down loaded and read the book that night. It was an easy read The book calm my fears of the unknown it gave me a better understanding of what to expect. I shared excerpts with Rob and Lyn to try to calm there fears it helped. But they both had been thru this twice before. But years ago technology has come a long way in Seventeen years.
