OT: Update on my need for Tricuspid valve replacement heart surgery

Teena A.

  Per the Cardiac Surgeon I saw today for a second opinion, I do not need to have heart surgery at this time.
My regurgitation is only moderate and I have no symptoms so at this time all we need to do is monitor my heart.
In 4 mos they want to do another heart sono to check status.
If the regurgitation stays moderate and I get no symptoms no surgery will be needed. 
He said they only operate when there are symptoms and severe regurgitation.
YAY!!!
Thank you all for your support and prayers.

Sincerely,
Teena Adler

I'm glad you don't have to have surgery. Keep an eye on those symptoms. Hope it doesn't get worse!

 Karla,

Thank you.

I hope it does not get worse either.

Right now I have no symptoms so it will be easy to tell if I start getting them.

 YEAH !!!!   I have been praying really hard for you Teena.   It is not fair all that you have been going through.  So glad that doctor gave you that bit of news.   Praying that when you go back everything will be the same as it is now....with no surgery required !!!


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

 Vivian,

Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support.

I was truly terrified and now am able to rest and relax a bit.

I will monitor my condition and follow up with heart sono in four months.

How have you been?

Hope all is good on your side of town.

Thank you once again.
