Terry met with the transplant specialist yesterday. His recommendation is not to do another transplant. He feels that Terry's heart might not be able to stand the rigors of another procedure. She has had two serious cardiac events since the first transplant in 12/09. In January 2010, she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure(CHF) and also had a stent put in a blocked artery. She has since recovered completely from that and no longer has CHF. Last month she had a series of cardiac events where her pulse and blood pressure dropped through the floor. That has since been taken care of, but the transplant physician doesn't want to take any chances that there could be something even more serious with her heart should they do a transplant.
So it is on to plan B. Terry will now be going to another set of specialists who will be treating her medically. At this moment in time, we are not sure what that will entail. I'll keep you posted.
I think it is ironic that she is having heart problems. Terry has the most wonderful and giving heart of anyone I know. We have been told that God doesn't close a door unless He opens another one. I hope this new door has a golden heart behind it for my golden girl.
Take care one and all and be thankful for every day.
