Samantha's Surgery

Samantha got into surgery later than expected today...the surgeon has decided that he cannot do the entire focilization today and the stenosis of the aortic valve in one surgery....he believes she won't make it through one surgery to do everything...so we are going to be doing a long drawn out process of multiple surgeries every 2 to 3 months until the focilization is done and then we will do the stenois.....Today they are going to do just the right side of her heart....the surgeon told us this morning that the pulmonary colleterals are extremely small and very narrow and although he is confident that this phase of the surgery will go well, he is worried that they won't grow or they will get more narrowed.....so my worry is okay if they get more narrow and don't grow, then what? If they started the unifocilization and they can't finish it...where does that leave Samantha? I can't believe that she has to do this 3 more times in the next 12 months....
