Well, Ted's appintment for a consultation with a heart doctor is November 10 to discuss having the hole in his heart closed. It is done by threading an umbrella-type apperatus through the artery that passes by the groin area into the heart and opening up the upbrella. It will adhere to the heart like velcro and plug up the opening. That will prevent any buildup on the edges of the hole that presumabely are letting loose and causing the TIAs.
Just to keep things interesting, Harriet has been diagnosed with breast cancer. But we have it on good authority that it is not. A biopsy will be done on Tuesday to make a final determination. We feel that alternative methods of treatment will be best here. Nothing is written in stone, though.
We will keep you informed of events as they occur. We would appreciate all of your prayers.
