I would ask for your thoughts and prayers Friday for my 20 yr old daughter. She's having heart surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN for heart arrhythmia. The operation is actually done under local anesthesia and is called Focal Point Catheter Ablation. Supposed to work in 90 - 95% of the cases. I'll post updates as it all unfolds.

Things like this should never be concidered off topic!

Rifleman,

Our children are never "off topic." I wish your daughter the best and hope and pray for a speedy recovery.

From one daughter's dad to another, I wish you all the best.

I'm not religious so I can't pray, but I wish your daughter luck and an extremely speedy recovery. She will be in my thoughts.

Keep us updated.

My wife will say a novena for her at tomorrow's mass. Our prayers are with you and your daughter.
Regards,
Ed

Best wishes to you and your daughter. I went through some of the same as my daughter had a kidney transplant. I know what yu will be going through, Mike.

Thanks for the replies, thoughts, and prayers guys. I have a couple of days off before the procedure.

If I sat at home I would go crazy. So, I spent part of today partaking some of the best therapy I know of, reloading and shooting at the range. I was adjusting my rifles scopes from deer loads to varmint loads, and working on a few load workups. I also cleaned out the garage, and got the snowblower ready, put lawnmowers and bikes away. I brought some venison steaks over to my Mother tonite, then did some more handloading.

I'll keep everyone posted on the results as info is available.

Dave

All the best wishes for your Daughter and for your family. We have to be thankful that medicine has reach the heights that it has. A very speedy recovery to your Daughter as well.

Thoughts and prayers to your daughter and your whole family. I am sure she will be fine as Mayo is a world-class facility.

Sincerely, Patrick

rifleman,

I had a similar surgery almost two weeks ago, and a valve change for good measure, feeling pretty good now. My prayers go out for your daughter, for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

rifleman,
From one father to another...My thoughts are with you.

LynnD why didn't you say something earlier about your procedure? Hope all is going well and you are up and about.
