Explanation of Surgery
Here is a link to Jayme's surgeon, Dr. Michael Petracek, explaining the procedure of minimally invasive valve repair surgery. This is the same procedure he will perform on Jayme. He has performed this surgery over 800 times and his mortality rate is 1%.
"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to listen to birds, babes, and sages with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common-this is our symphony." - William Henry Channing
