Sherry's Heart Valve Journal

Lawson leefe posted a note for Sherry that says: 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.

Best wishes,

Lawson

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

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.

God is certainly in control of this entire situation! This is evident over and over again!

Rick and I are praying for you and know you are in His hands. love to you~ Kathie and Rick Ramsdell

We will be praying for you and have no doubt God will bless you with a speedy recovery. The Lord takes special care of all his angels :)

Just wanted you to know that my day starts with prayer for you. I am thankful to God for our special friendship and pray that He continues to hug you real tight through this experience and gives you a great witness story. Love to you and all the family.

Hi Sherry,

Got this info from Bob. Just wanted to send a note that you will be in our thoughts and prayers. God will be watching over you and taking care of you. Keep us updated. We will be praying for a speedy recovery for you.

I'm continuing to thank God for His amazing timing and grace for you!

We are both totally blessed that we live now, when there are diagnostic and surgical tools to help us. His amazing, wonderful will be done!

LOVE you!

I love you dear friend....you look great in your photo!! Looking forward to hearing this as a story next time we can get together.

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.

Thanks
