Daughter having surgery
GramE | 8/20/17 | GramE

It's always everyone else requesting prayer. Tonight it is me. My 42 yo daughter is having surgery to repair a genetic defect in her sternum. It is buckling and putting pressure on her heart, lung, stomach, esophagus, etc, etc. It is called pectus excavatum. She is in Cleveland Clinic, 300 miles from her children, family & support system. Her DH is with her. They will be cutting her sternum and pulling it back into place and adding titanium plates to hold it there. The standard for doing surgery is a 3.25 measurement. Hers measures 7.2.

I am confident God has got this. He has met them all along the process but it is difficult to watch your child walk through a deep valley like this. Her surgery is expected to be at 11:30am. She is second in line. She is also ticked she's missing the eclipse! 🙄.

Thank you ahead of time for your prayers for her & her surgeon. This is a 4-6 hr procedure. Thank you . ❤️

If the surgery goes well will she be cured of the problem?

Prayers up for her.

My friend went through this as well and everything turned out ok for him.

How dramatic is the excavatum ? I suppose it’s interfering with the heart now ?

.
This is a common defect in women.

It is not a unique procedure.
