Today our next door neighbor, Rick AKA Papa Rick, had open heart surgery on his aortic valve. He's out of surgery now but the surgeon told Susan AKA SuSu that it was the worst aortic valve that he had ever seen. Not only was it almost completely closed but also that he had a congential defect of two versus three flaps in the valve. The Surgeon also advised that Rick had an aortic anueryism which they cut out and replaced with a polyethelene tube.
Please think positive thoughts for Rick and his recovery.
Ricardo and I thank our lucky stars every day that we bought this house next to Susan and Rick. They are more than just neighbors to us. They are family. Our girls love them like grandparents and Ricardo and I love them like parents....really really young parents. :)
Ella drew a picture for Papa Rick last night and I asked her if she wanted me to write To Papa Rick and she said no. Write I Love Papa Rick. Awwww. Be ALLL better Papa Rick.
