About Me (In My Own Words)
Janice St.Germaine has had many surgeries since 1992. She started with triple bypass,
1998 carotid sx, 2000 carotid, 2002 descending aortic stent. The Drs had been monitoring her aortic stenosis for years but in 2010 the condition worsened . Her cardiologist sent her for a consult with one of the top surgeons in Syracuse NY. He told her to go home and relax get your life in order and enjoy ! He said there was no hope and that she had about a year to
Live but it would be trying do to the congestive heart failure symptoms that come with stenosis ! In shock with the news I looked at mom and said are u ready to die ? Are you ready to give up ? She said no!!! Are you ready to fight??? Yes!!! So I immediately got online with Cleveland Clinic , They said there was a case study with the TAVI Procedure that she may qualify for! Within 3 weeks we were out there for an evaluation. Unfortunately she didn't qualify for that study because the Stent wasn't the right size , but there was. Another study that she would probably qualify for. We just has to keep her alive for another 6 to 8 months. It was a roller coaster 8 months with many emergency encounters with congestive heart failure . We almost lost her 3 times!!! She was fighting!! Then we got the call the were ready for her!!! We arrived and the Clinic and Drs run like a well oiled wheel ! No stone is unturned! It's a wonderful feeling that you absolutely have NO DOUBT your loved one is in the right place !! She made it through the surgery. We are going for her 2 year check up in April!!!! So Blessed!!!! So greatful to the beautiful incredible Drs and staff at Cleveland Clinic!!' THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!!!❤️
