So sorry to hear about your great grandmother. The heart is a very dangerous thing as we age. Mom was doing good. Went for a catheterization to look at her heart and not good news. Friday morning she goes in for a triple bypass and aortic valve replacement.
We always thought her tiredness was due to other issues, boy was everyone wrong. Please keep her in your thoughts.

Aww Tina, I really do think everything's gonna be alright. It just sounds scary, the procedure isn't that no where near as bad. Here's excerpt from googling. "triple bypass, now a days at least, a fairly common procedure. Chances are, the surgeon has done hundreds of these, and the risk is minimized."
Regardless though we're with you in the deepest thoughts hun.
Surgery is over-she has a pigs valve and the rerouting 3x looks to be good. They will let her start waking up in the next hour. Thanks for the good vibes. So wierd-my ex had the same surgery with the same surgeon back in November! He is already back at life.
Hey Tina, it's wonderful she came through the surgery. Yes, I think we've all been sending you the most positive thoughts we could muster up for her and will continue to do so with hopes of a quick recovery! Please do keep us posted, and keep thinking the good thoughts....I know I will be for you and your family!
that's great tina!! i'm glad she's out and doing well. she'll keep getting stronger, don't you worry! that is weird that your ex had the same thing w/the same DR... lol... at least you know he's a good DR. *hugs* to you and your family!
Glad to hear it Tina, that can be a very disconcerting proceedure unitl its done. I wish her the best on the recovery.
Take it easy

lol @ the pic.
@ the sentiment. You two are great. Haha he is?! What are the odds of that!
Aww I'm so glad everything went through with flying colors Tina. I'm sure she'll do the same with the rest of the trials easily. She sounds like a tough woman, wonder where she gets that from?
Well one down, next one to go!
Aw Martha, Thank you so very much!! You are too kind and again, it's a great pleasure to have met you! The circumstances could be without, but still in an odd sense worth it.
Mother has been moved out of the cvicu and into her own room. All is well so far. I can now stay in the room with her at all times. She should be able to go home in a couple days. Thanks friends/family for all the good thoughts.
Sorry I'm late with this Tina, I haven't been around much in the last week. I'm so happy your mother is doing well and will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
It is amazing what they can do with the heart now days. My daughter was taken from my arms at 3 weeks old, put in an ICU unit at Children's Medical Center and scheduled for emergency open heart surgery. She had a blocked aorta and a bicuspid (has two flaps instead of 3) aortic valve with a rip in it. They removed the section of aorta that was bad and patched it with a section of artery from her arm, then went in and repaired the rip in the valve. She still has a bicuspid valve and one day may have to have it replaced, but she's 21 now and has never had another problem since that surgery. She has no activity restrictions on her since she was 3 and was even a dancer for a good many years until injuries forced her to give it up. She's in college studying to be a vet and has now taken up rock climbing. That was a long time ago so I can only imagine the advances they have made since. It sounds like your mother is in great hands.
Please keep up posted on her progress. Blessings to you.

WWay!! good to see you again!! awww... i can't believe that your daughter had to have that done at such a young age!! That's great though that she's doing well and has had no other problems from it! Here's hoping that she has many more years of no problems!!!
