<div><strong>Mike is a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother-in-law, brother, friend, and proud Veteran who needs your support.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please consider helping ease the financial and emotional burden for Mike and his wife, Peggy. Your support will allow Peggy to be by Mike’s side before, during, and after his major surgery—and help cover the significant medical and personal expenses they will be facing for many months.
</div>
<div><strong>A message from Mike:</strong>
</div>
<div>We finally spoke with the surgeon. He was very thorough and presented several options. My surgery is scheduled for <strong>October 20.</strong> It will be a full open-heart procedure, requiring my chest to be cracked opened.
</div>
<div>I need a <strong>new aortic valve</strong>, and we’ve chosen a bovine (cow) valve. I’ll also undergo triple bypass surgery to address three <strong>severe blockages (90%, 85%, and 80%)</strong>. The surgeon will use arteries from my arm and leg for the bypass.
</div>
<div>The operation is expected to take <strong>over 5 hours</strong>, and I’ll be in the hospital for 7 to 10 days. I’ll also need a <strong>bloodline pick for hemodialysis for a few months due to my kidney failure</strong>, which makes a mechanical valve unsuitable.
</div>
<div>On a hopeful note, a kidney has been donated in my name. A friend of Rose’s (Peggy’s sister) lost her young daughter, and through their unimaginable loss, I’ve been given a chance to move up on the list. <strong>I don’t know the right words to express this, but I’m deeply grateful.</strong>
</div>
<div>The surgeon says I have a <strong>95% chance of surviving the surgery, </strong>and the cow valve should last 8 to 10 years. When it needs to be replaced, it can be done through a much less invasive procedure.
</div>
<div>Love to all of you.
