You will be receiving the strength from all the prayers we are all saying. From a mitral valve replacement patient myself, each day you will get stronger and stronger. Faith is an awesome healer.

Hi Kelly,
No word from you since last Thursday. I pray all is well with you and that you don't have access to a computer.
You've been through a lot. But, I can tell you're a fighter.
God bless....

Hi Kelly. Just checking in. Hoping your surgery went well and that you are on your way to recovery.

I had a bicuspid aorta that caused aortic regurgitation. The "gurge' finally caused an infection in my mitral valve. This caused my mitral valve to fail and gurge. I basically had the same surgery that you are just recovering from...and I am OK. Remember that you are going to have bouts of depression, so keep your chin up. Here's to your quick recovery!

Hi Kelly, just stopping by to say hello and hoping your surgery went well and you are on your way to full recovery. Please let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it.

Hi Kelly. We are all thinking of you. Tell us how you're doing when you feel strong enough. Let me know if you want a visitor at UCLA and I'll come and walk a few loops with you around the ward to help you on the road to recovery. Maybe you'll tire me out! -- DVB

Kelly just wanted you to know I think of you often and know you are going to be feeling so much better here shortly. You are in my prayers and I wish you a speedy recovery. Please keep us all informed. Your old friend, Debbie Kirylo Carpenter

Kelly, you are in good hands. I have had several surgeries at UCLA, and continue to rely on them for my ongoing care. Don't worry about a thing.

Hi Kelly,
I just read your story today, the day of your surgery.
It was a long haul for you. I am in that excruciating waiting period as you have been. I will be looking forward to hear an update from your brother that your surgery went weel and you're on the road to recovery. Will be sending positive vibes your way.

Hi Kelly,
I just wanted you to know that you are not alone and I more than understand your frustration with the waiting. Usually the ones that the surgeon takes a while to schedule are the ones the go the best because he has done his research and wants to make sure he is doing what is right for you. I can't wait until we see another journal entry from you to see how you are progressing. Be well and I look forward to your next update.

Hi Kelly, thinking of you as I sit in my hospital room getting ready for tomorrow. I go at 11. Good luck to you. See you on the other side of surgery. -Mitch Friedman
On February 1, 2012...
Hi Kelly, just wanted to "stop by" and tell you good wishes for tomorrow. I'm not saying good luck because I don't think luck has anything to do with it. You will be in great hands...great surgeons guided by God Himself! You seem to be such a sweet girl, I am so happy you are finally on the way to being "fixed".
Hugs and love! God bless!

Great news about your surgery date! 22 & 12 are my two favorite numbers, so I think that's a good omen, right? Surgery can be scary (esp yours) & I really respect you for refusing to back down from it - I think a good attitude like yours is a huge part of a speedy recovery & better outcome overall. I'll be praying extra hard for u this week & hope you feel up to posting here again real quick. Love you!
