Dr. Pochettino came and reported that the operation is complete. Joyce did very well during the procedure. They replaced the valve after finding the problem that they thought was there. Howver, they felt that the aorta did not need replacement. So the operation was somewhat shorter than the five hours that was estimated .. about 3.5 hours.
He said Joyce was being moved to the intensive care unit and is currently on a ventilator until she is fully awake. That may be several hours and she will stay overnight in the IC unit.
Thank the Lord that everything was successful! Thank you all for your prayers. I'm sure Joyce will want to extend her thanks personnally later!
