Meeting "Our" Surgeon

Tuesday, 02March2010
Today has just been one of those days! One of those fabulous, wonderful days. I love my surgeon Dr. Nick Smidera (say that 3 times fast). He is very friendly, funny and so intelligent. He doesn't think that the overgrown muscle inside of my heart is as enlarged as originally thought AND he could only find one area that needs a bypass. He explained to us why he thought this had been perhaps 'misdiagnosed' but we can all see God's hand in it too and know he can heal. After all, two cardiologists and a different surgeon saw two blockages in December. Unless something unforeseen arises the surgery is now expected to be only 4 hours...Awesome news!!! Ricky and Jim made it in tonight so we have a full house. My sweet son in law even brought an empty suitcase just so that he could go by my house and get my U of M throw that one of my "girls" sent to me but just wouldn't fit in my luggage. What a wonderful surprise! Of course, Bill and Cheryl were in on it, but to cuddle up in my Tiger throw on the couch tonight was very comforting. Thank you Ruthie and Rik. I am planning on a good night's rest tonight. We are about to go to dinner and then I'll turn in. Keep our family in your prayers.
