Heart Surgery Information

Family and Friends-
We have decided to begin this blog to keep everyone up-to-date about my heart surgery. During the course of my surgery Win will be constantly updating our blog so everyone gets the latest information all at the same time.
We want to make sure everyone is on the same page with what is going on. A week or so ago we found out that I will NOT be able to have the minimally invasive surgery like we had hoped. Because of the placement of the hole between my ventricles they will have to perform a median sternotomy.
My surgery in this coming Thursday March 3rd at 7:30am at The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano and it should last anywhere between 3-5 hours. Many of you have asked for contact information so below I am including the information we have as of now.

The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano
1100 Allied Dr. Plano, TX 75093
1-800-4Baylor

Win's cell- (817) 808-9834

Once we are in my room we will update with a direct phone line.
I should be in the hospital for 5-7 days.
For now we ask for no visitors for atleast the first two days per recommendation from the hospital. Once I am feeling up to visitors Win will update everyone and then we welcome you all!

We thank you all for the continued thoughts, prayers, and support.
Love, Katy and Win
