Ronald McDonald House
I can’t say enough wonderful things about the Ronald McDonald house where my husband and I stayed during Donna Marie’s hospital stay. (She got to enjoy the house a bit after she was discharged from the hospital.) The place was absolutely wonderful and all the volunteers that work there were fantastic. Each night there is even free dinner for the guests prepared by various volunteer groups. 
REPAIR OF CARDIAC CONDITION A SUCCESS !!!!!!
The repair of Donna’s atrial septal defect and PDA was done by cardiac cath on Friday and she was back home by Saturday afternoon. She is back to her old self. Thank you for all your prayers, posts and concern. I’ll post more details soon!
REPAIR OF CARDIAC CONDITION BY CARDIAC CATH A SUCCESS !!!!
Atrial Septal Defect Repair via Cardiac Cath.
Hi Everyone. My daughter is scheduled to have her atrial septal defect finally repaired in exactly two weeks. We found somebody that is confident he can do it via cardiac catheterization and has alot of experience. He is a bit concerned that part of her septal wall is quite thin but overall feels quite confident. As a back up, we are reserving OR time in case it can not be repaired via cardiac cath. In this case it will be repaired via open heart. So I am wondering what people’s experiences have been with either procedure. I know everyone’s case is unique, but I am still interested. Even though everyone tells me it is a simple fix I am still a bundle of nerves. My experiences as a nurse only make matters worse, not better! (You know I imagine every possible scenario.) I am trying to leave it God’s hands and am grateful that at least she has something which is operable. Still these two weeks won’t pass soon enough. Any input and prayers/wishes would be appreciated.
