Direction..

We finally have one! Yesterday mom and dad went to see Dr. Hearon. I couldn't go, but I printed off the post here about our experience with Dr. Carlton. Dad gave it to Lisa the PA first, and then she gave it to Dr. Hearon. Dad said he came in so red faced, could tell he was angry and upset. He said very little actually. Mom said before he said a word he gave her a big ole bear hug. Then told them there is a plan. He had just gotten off the phone with Dr. Hennington - partner with Dr. Carlton. He said they discussed everything and looked up at dad and said it was close to a 'Jesus talk'! Daddy said that Dr. Hearon said mom did need the surgery and really didn't have much to say about Dr. Carlton. He also said he faxed over my note to Dr. Hennington and that his office should call them and set up an appointment for today.

Well, dad called about 7:30 and said to get ready they are ready to see mom. We get there and mom and I walk in while dad is parking the car, and this short man in green scrubs is in the hall. He says hello and was so nice. His nurse puts us in a room and the door doesn't even get shut when he walks in and shakes all of our hands, greeting each of us with a big smile. From the moment he walked in I felt at ease. He talks to mom for a minute and then tells us that he isn't going to comment on Dr. Carlton but here is what he thinks. That surgery while she is in relatively good health is best, there is 97-98% chance that she will do fine with the surgery. He said after the surgery she will fell so much better. He is also going to try to get rid of her atrial fibrillation which would be soooo great as well. He talked to us for a long time, he showed us the cath video again and a model of the heart showing us where the blockages were.

But the biggest thing, most important that put us all at ease was he said something about the Lord, and mom stopped him and said "You just mentioned the Lord, are you a Christian?" He didn't hesitate and stated profoundly "YES"! That made mom light up. He said it again, I am a born again Christian! The rest...was just gravy.

God had a plan, I think he really put confusion into Dr. Carlton for a reason, God knew we needed this other doctor. God has a plan always, sometimes we just get in his way.

So, he said mom could have her surgery this week and he said he could give her up to 2 weeks. Of course mom said ooo 2 weeks. So, before we left his office I asked to schedule it. She has pre-op on May 7th and surgery on May 8th. We will know the time when she goes to pre-op.

So pray, PRAY PRAY PRAY. She will be needing them. She says God has given her perfect peace about the surgery which makes me feel better, I would hate her worrying so much.
