Mom is home from having her procedure this morning. All went well -though she would have preferred to be completely unaware of the experience! Even though they gave her a whole long list of drugs that were supposed to relax her and make her unaware of what was happening - they didn't do what they were meant to do. The nurses said that she talked to them through most of it. Following the angiogram (camera sent up into the heart) and the ECC (Esophogial Echo Cardiogram - camera down the throat that ultrasounds the back of the heart) Dr. Anding told us that he was very pleased to see that her arteries were clear. The valve does need replaced and he found a very tiny hole in her heart which will be repaired at the same time that they replace the valve next week.
She is home taking it easy though she has had no pain at all. I will stay with her until later this evening.
This is Beth - signing out for now.
