Hi Sherry,
What an amazing story! I'm the partner of another member of the heart valve surgery community, Rachel Shelley, a 26 year old lady based in the UK. We're currently undergoing a difficult period as there have been a series of unexpected complications rather like your own. She was transferred hospitals and at one point was facing the threat of amputation. She's on dialysis and is looking at a possible transplant or lvad implant.
It's great to hear you sounding so positive and able to give testament to the possibility of recovering through something like this. This is a great source if hope to me.
Sherry, thank you for sharing your story. God truly has our days numbered and He was with you every second of your recovery. I am so glad to hear of your wonderful progress.
What an amazing story Sherry and thanks for sharing it. Really inspiring to read about how much one person can go through and overcome. And your faith in God and inner strength are something I strive for.
All the best and a very Happy New Year to you and your family!
Oh Sherry,
Tears again as I read your journal!! So thankful you are still here with us. What a testimony of God's grace and mercy, and continued strength.
Love , prayers, and hugs
Karen
Wow Sherry! What a story. I am so glad you are on the mend. What caused your surgery to go so wrong? With so many operations maybe we tend to forget just how serious open-heart really is...I'll keep you in my prayers.

Just read your entry in the journal. Time really does fly by! Hope you're doing well. You are still in our thoughts and prayers. You have really had your share, but God has been by your side during complications. Continue on the road to recovery. God bless you and your family.
Sherry Jones Thanks Deb and Jerry!
I pray you are on the mend Deb!
You are in my prayers, I pray your leg heals quickly and that your rehabilitation goes smoothly!
Hugs,
Sherry

Sherry, good luck to you. I am scheduled for mitral valve replacement surgery on Oct 17th. I am encouraged by the many success stories on this web site.
I am sure that your experience as a cardiac nurse enables you to better understand what is ahead. It will be interesting to read your journal.
Sherry Jones Mr. Holmes,
I am praying for you as you have your surgery this next week. Just think, you will be getting ready to go home about this time next week!
Blessings,
Sherry Jones
