We're sitting in the cath lab - Ron's back in his cubicle, has eaten (a lot), and is now doing his 45 minutes of walking the halls before he's released.
Dr. Taylor, cardiologist, said they did find calcification in the main artery to his heart - but what concerns him is the blockage seen in the front part of Ron's heart. He's guessing 40-50% blockage - he doesn't 'feel' heart surgery is in order at this time....but before he can give the transplant team the 'go ahead', he wants to do a more comprehensive MRI. Once he verifies the results, he'll either sign off to the transplant team - or worst case scenario - he'll turn Ron over to the heart surgeons.
The MRI will be administered via outpatient and then he'll meet with the cardiologist to get the final report.
We feel VERY relieved - cautiously optomistic and ready to head down the road to Ron's final destination - liver transplant.
THANK YOU everyone - your support means everything to Ron and I.
