If and When

It looks like Monday is the day to figure out exactly what will be happening with Aaron's surgery.  The doctors have all said they'll make the decision on Monday about when and if there will be a valve replacement surgery.  It could mean that Aaron will come home from the hospital tomorrow or it could mean that he will stay there and await the surgery.  His preference is to be allowed to come home.  If that decision is made it does not rule out the possibility of ever having the valve replaced, it just delays it until it is more medically necessary.  The estimate on that time frame is 10-20 years in the future.

There will be a few more tests tomorrow and those should be what determines the outcome.  Last I heard the cardiac surgeon was still the one to say it should be taken care of now.  As the doctors are all smarter than me when it comes to heart health, I trust their judgement of what will be best for Aaron.  We all just want him to be healthy and happy.
