Update

My surgery went well and I am starting to feel much better. In fact, I believe there was a small miracle in all of it. When I went in for my six month check up, it was very obvious in the ultrasound that I still had a significant hole in my heart. The doctor could see it and I could see it. The hole was as significant as it was before my first surgery in April. It was determined that I needed to have another surgery to repair the leak. I was very nervous about the surgery because it was a very real possibility that the surgery would have to be open heart surgery. I went into the surgery fearing the worst and hoping for the best. They made two incisions in my groin and went up into my heart through a catheter. When the doctor was in there he could not find any hole. He did several extensive tests in my heart and lungs with the catheter to make sure there wasn't a leak somewhere else. He could not find anything, anywhere. It was all completely healed and normal. So the doctor did nothing. He could not explain what happened only the fact that it was all normal. I believe it is a miracle. There is no other explanation. I am grateful for the prayers in my behalf as I know they were heard. I feel blessed for this small miracle in my life.
