Jennifer @littlekiwi Continued Prayers for your Mom.

I will tell you my Aunt (who is like my Mom, as I lost my Mom 28 years ago and it is her sister) anyway, 3 years ago at the age of 83 (she will be 86 in December) she had to have the valve replacement surgery done. She is doing well, although now she is tired alot as she is older and basically having issues as she has macular degeneration so is basically blind as she can only see shadows, so she has gotten depressed with that, but as far as her heart valve, all of that is still perfect.

So all of that to say, I will keep your Mom in my prayers that they get everything sorted for your Mom and if she needs surgery, that it will all work out for her Keep positive thoughts Jennifer!!

 

I know.. the valve thing you can't "see" it... Hugs my dear.. at 61 she is at a great age (she is only 4 years older than me ) I was just trying to say my Aunt was 83 and had the surgery and did great. Keeping your Mom in my prayers. Please let us know what they decide to do. Hugs.

 

aww, hugs jennifer. i hope you get some answers too so you can take your mom out for a nice bday celebration and she can enjoy herself again. warm hugs ... these things are so hard!

 

I'm sorry she doesn't have a more concrete plan of action yet. That has to be frustrating! But hopefully the tests show what's going on and something can be done soon asap. It's not fun for her to feel so exhausted all the time!

 

Sorry, I didn't mean there wasn't a diagnosis. I meant that I hope these most recent tests help speed up the doctors' procedures on their end (so they can decide if she needs to have surgery or meds or whatever she needs to feel better) because a diagnosis alone doesn't help her. It's difficult when the doctors seem to be taking their time!

 

Sorry that your mom is facing this challenge. I hope she is able to get some answers about treatment soon.

 

@littlekiwi I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. Sending hugs.

 

So sorry to hear this. Keeping you and your mum in my thoughts.

 

You’re being an amazing daughter and support for her, Jennifer. Be sure to take care of yourself too. Keeping both of you in my daily prayers. Lots of love! @littlekiwi

 

My father had a valve replaced in 2002 at the age of 73. It was a pig's valve and the life of those are approximately 10 years. His lasted 13 years. His last checkup after returning from FL in March of 2016, he was doing great and there were no issues with the valve. But, God had other plans for him in June. He had a heart attack and even though the echocardiogram results were OK, the doctor wanted to do a heart cath to see more of the valve. He had a 2nd heart attack before that could happen and passed away. Up until he had the heart attack (cardiac issues in his family as well), he was very active, even walking on a treadmill every morning and a walk in the neighborhood in the evenings. He lived a very full life after that surgery.

So hang in there and think good thoughts because statistics are on the side of her having many more good years.
