Just a quick surgery update.
Christy, her husband, and her dad checked in for her surgery at 8:30am. They made it through all the prep
work--dressing, IVs, paperwork, etc. But sadly they hit an unexpected
snag.
While the anesthesiologist went through his pre-surgery checklist he discovered Christy has an irregular heartbeat. While she's had other heart issues throughout this journey, today's problem is something more serious, something that has developed since last September. The anesthesiologist put a complete stop on today's surgery--it's too risky without addressing this new issue with her heart. They sent her home without rescheduling the surgery and with orders to get evaluated by a cardiologist and resolve the heart issues first.
As you can imagine, Christy is really really struggling with this. She had made a lot of preparations for today--physically, psychologically, emotionally, etc. She was ready to finish off this last stage and move forward. Instead she faces a whole new unexpected challenge.
Please send your prayers and thoughts her way.
Thanks,
M
