June & Jim, Tx for continuous updates. I'll tell Ric about the surgery. Ric was a medical photographer and took many pix of the early open heart surgeries done at MacNeil. Jackie

June & Jim,
I give my thanks to God for the completion of the surgery. God is good. Now, my prayers are for your speedy recovery. June and Jim, you did a great job. Love, Pastor SungJa

June, I am keeping Marion (Mom) informed and she and Hub and Mike and I send our thoughts and prayers with you. Keep up the good work and great attitude! Love, Susie Greene

I'm so glad to hear that everything appears to be going good. Now the real fun begins.

Make sure that you listen to the nurses and doctors. They have gone through the recover process many more times that we have. Also. caregivers take care of yourself and your real work beings after you get home.

Hope things continue to go good for everyone.

Dear June and Jim

My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Dick had valve replacement in 2000 and lived for many more years and I know that ou will also.

Love, Martha

Hi June
Since you didn't log in days (or weeks ago) I have to assume you've done all your homework and you are well prepared for tomorrow's surgery. Are they planning on a repair or replacement of the aortic valve? It's pretty amazing how people learn of the seriousness of their valve as you did. Thank God as you won't suffer with so many complications if you waited too long. I pray for a successful surgery tomorrow. Seems you have a great support system in place. It helps.
Fran

June,

Yo quiero taco bell. I hope you enjoyed your tasty, TB lunch - personally, my secret vice is the Nachos Bell Grande. Yum. We hope all goes well tomorrow. It was so nice to see you yesterday - we hope to see you up and at em' again in the near future!

Take care,
Kirsten and Peter

June,
Good luck on your surgery tomorrow. I know you will be fine because tomorrow is my birthday and I am sending prayers and wishes your way. Please keep us posted, and I will be looking forward to hearing the good news that everything went well and you are recovering.
