Hi all. I am posting on behalf of Mike and LaDawne. The surgery was at 9am today and was done around 11am. It ended up being delayed a day due to other patient emergencies. The Dr said everything went well and they were able to open up 3 blocked veins. LaDawne said the sensation of the angioplasty felt a little strange when the ballon was inflated. The vein in her thoracic(chest) area was quite blocked so we are hoping that the restored blood flow will be a postive thing. Thank you so much for your prayers. It is not easy being in another country undergoing a surgery. LaDawne is a trooper and despite feeling a little groggy she is in good spirits. She is happy that they found veins that needed to be opened. There are so many differences in how things are done here. We do a lot of waiting but the care is good. We will be hearing from the Dr's later today and we will update more then. Please continue to pray that there will be healing and no complications.
