I'm so sorry for the news but like you said, be thankful for your DH and DD and try to stay positive, enjoy every minute of that amazing trip to Hawaii
We went through our pregnancies together and were always there for all the ups and downs....I am here for you and I believe you will be OK....give that beautiful girl a big hug and kiss and realize what a gift she is
I truly hope that the valve replacement surgery corrects the problem with your heart. Treasure every moment with your little Gracie! It's clear that she is your most precious little gift!
eta: Enjoy Hawaii!!! It's beautiful -- the perfect place to relax!!!
Dina, I'm sorry you didn't get the news you wanted.
I'm not sure if we've discussed this already, but my husband works in the medical device field and has developed a device to repair the mitral valve (an alternative to valve replacement and having to be on cumidin).
If its not your mitral valve, he may know of similar devices that may help.
You are a strong woman and your daughter is lucky to have a mom like you. Thanks for sharing. I send many hugs and prayers your way that this surgery will be a HUGE help for you...
