<div>My mom, Bonnie, has been through so much in the last 2 weeks. It started out with shortness of breath. Little did we know she was in cardiac arrest. I took her to CF ER. Her D-dimer was high; repeated 2 hours later, it was EVEN HIGHER! Off to Rochester by ambulance.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Admitted. The first day, she had a stress test: 2/3 blocked and her aortic valve needed to be replaced. The most horrible news we could endure. Then the next day, she had an angiogram. It was not successful; they were not able to put stents in.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>After a week of being there, she needed open-heart surgery with an aortic valve replacement. They had to make sure she was a candidate for surgery.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>All tests came back good for surgery EXCEPT her teeth. She needed her TWENTY-SEVEN teeth REMOVED.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>(We are born with 32 teeth.)

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The next day, her teeth were removed.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>OMG! Talk about PAIN! My poor mom was in horrible pain!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This was done last Friday, 9/5, and the triple bypass with a new aortic valve was on Monday, 9/8.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She is still in PCU and heading to transition care on Tuesday. She has a very long recovery. She needs to be able to keep her place to live so she has a place to go home and call home. She often wonders what her doctor's bills will be and is hoping they will cover her dentures.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Please, any little bit will help. If you can, just simply pray for my mom. Prayer goes a long way as my mom has a heart of gold and she just needs a tune-up!! God bless!</strong>
