divemaster5734 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 This is even difficult to write. My oldest son is going in for heart surgery tomorrow. It's supposed to be a "routine day surgery", but I am about to climb the walls. He's 22, plays college football, and is the epitome of "gentle giant". He has had occasional irregular heart beats since 5 years old. They finally figured out he has a extra node, I don't remember if it's a SA or AV one, but they're going to sew them together so his heart only fires once at a time. Obviously, a "side effect" could be anything up to and including death. Man, that was freaking hard to write. Please take a moment and say a prayer fro Alex's surgery tomorrow. Thanks for letting me send this out, and thank you for your help. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rope Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 My thoughts and prayers are with you both, and with the surgeon who will handle this delicate task. Hang in there, it will be all over soon, and then you'll have plenty of time to count all those new gray hairs you've just earned. It's always so hard when our children are ill-we feel so out of control.....so let God take care of this for you....it really does work, I know. Blessings to you and yours......take care......hugs your way as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are always our "babies" aren't they? I will be sending healing thoughts and warm regards to you and your precious son. We all will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
