URGENT UPDATE:

 

I just received a PM from Mayank's mom, and he needs urgent prayers!

 

The surgery took over 8 hours, and there were complications, so now he is in the ICU.

 

His mom is asking for lots of prayers and she said she will send another update as soon as she can.

 

I was hoping to be able to post a positive update, but this sounds very scary! :(

 

Please pray, or if you don't pray, please send healing thoughts to Mayank.

I received a PM from a board member whom I don't know very well and who doesn't post often, but she seems like a lovely person and she is very worried about her ds, so I'm starting a thread on her behalf to ask for prayers for her son.

 

Here's what's going on...

 

Her son is 15 and his name is Mayank (pronounced "my-unk") and has been homeschooled for 7 years. He is headed to pre-OP at a hospital in Dallas right now, and tomorrow morning he will have surgery to replace the metal mitral valve which he has had since he was 5.

 

She and her family would greatly appreciate any prayers or positive healing thoughts you could send them. This is major surgery and they are very scared and worried.

 

Thanks!!!

I just received a PM from Mayank's mom and she wanted me to let you know that it means a lot to have all the prayers, thoughts, and hugs everyone is sending.

 

In case I'm not online too much tomorrow, I hope someone will keep bumping this thread throughout the day so we can keep Mayank in our thoughts and prayers as he goes through the surgery.

 

Thanks so much for all of the lovely responses to this thread! :)

[Carol in Cal.]

Praying. I have a niece who had open heart surgery before she was two years old.  She is now 15, and doing great.  It's amazing what pediatric cardiologists can do these days.

[Catwoman]

Just bumping for more prayers for Mayank. The surgery is today!

I lived in/near Dallas for 28 years. There are wonderful hospitals and doctors there. I will include him in my prayers. There is a medical school there. The UT SW Medical School, which is adjacent to Parkland Memorial Hospital.  I believe that a Teaching Hospital probably offers the best possibility of great care, because of the oversight.

Praying. :grouphug:

[RoughCollie]

Bumping this.

[MooCow]

Still praying! Hugs

[Jean in Newcastle]

Any updates on the surgery?  

[Catwoman]

No updates yet -- I keep checking my PMs, just in case!

 

The mom did tell me in her last PM that I might not hear anything from her for a few days, so right now I'm hoping that no news is good news.

 

I'll let everyone know as soon as I hear from her.

 

Thanks again for all the hugs, prayers, and support everyone has been sending her and her son. :)
