Heart Surgery
Some good news to share. Until today, we were not sure whether Rosie would need 2 operations, or just one. If the doctors decided to fix Rosie's heart in 2 stages, the second stage would be 1 year after the first, so we were not really looking forward to that gap.
Anyway, we went to the hospital today and we were told that the work can all be done in 1 operation, which makes us both worry a little less. Just the whole process of going into hospital and being operated on is obviously a bit stressful for Rosie, so to go through that process once rather than twice is a big relief.
The schedule is not decided yet, but the surgery will be fairly soon.
Watch this space, especially if you have been with us for a while...
(I still get a big lump in my throat when imagining her being taken away to be operated on, but I have to be just as big and brave as Rosie is!)
