At Kaitlyn's last check up it was noted that her leaky valve had got worse. After the surgeons had a meeting about it, it was decided that it would be in Kaitlyn's best interests to operate to try and repair the valve. It is important this is done otherwise it would affect Kaitlyn's lung pressures and the overall functioning of her heart. Unfortunately it means another open heart surgery but the surgeon has given us a 95-97% chance of success which we are focusing on. It will not be pleasant for any of us not least of all Kaitlyn ,but we know she is "tough as old boots" - to quote a nurse , and is so much better now than she was when she had her last operation.
We are waiting for a date which could be any day soon as she is top of the urgent list. At the moment Kaitlyn is running around without a care in the world! Here are a few pics that were taken in Grandad's cart yesterday.
