So mom's surgery went well. And we are all glad. They were able to repair the valve with what they the best possible way and it is strong. They usually keep them in ICU for 3 days but they only kept her there for one day. But she has had problems with Arrhythmia at the beginning but they gave her some medication and it cleared up (which means her heart was racing). But last night she had another episode. This one was less dangerous kind. It can make you faint and dizzy and lightheaded and tired. But they are not life threatening usually. But they are keeping her medication.
There are two kinds, atrial tachycardia and ventricle tachycardia. The atrial kind is less dangerous and that's the kind she had last night. But she hasn't had any of them today so that's good. They said that the earlest time that she could come home is Monday but that's if the Arrhythmia is all cleared up and under control and she is doing really well. So she will probably stay for at least a week from the surgery which is Wednesday. Thanks for all your prayers.

We are so relieved that the surgery went well, and we are praying for a quick recovery & that this last issue resolves itself too.
We love you guys!
K--Thank you for keeping us posted. We went to the temple again today. We will continue to keep her in our prayers until she is 100%. We love her so very much (and you too!)
