Update 3

According to the ICU volunteer, Kiara came off the heart/lung bypass machine at 10:20. I should be seeing the surgeon in 40-50 minutes.

If the original time estimate was accurate, this should mean repair and not replacement.

Hey Kelly, thanks for keeping us up to date. I am so glad it was repairing work, not replacing. Do you know if they were able to go "in" gently? Thinking of you both, Love Mary

Nope. Full chest cracking. The surgeon says it actually reduces recovery time going in through the sternum.
