Lynn’s Story

Site created on February 19, 2020

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. Only 2 till we head to Birmingham. 5 days until Open Heart Surgery to repair/replace a heart valve, a hole and an aneurism in Lynn's  heart. Dr. James Davies will be doing the surgery at UAB on Feb 27th but Ken and Lynn leave on Feb 25th. Lynn loves all people and is trusting in God to mend her heart. 
She knows it is going to be hard but is tired of the suffering. Thank you for you kind words and prayers!

Journal entry by Lynn Fox Adams

Lynn has not been able to post on fb. She went into a 4 to 6 hour surgery with a 96% rate. 
 
Then was put out on the operating room table and hooked up. An hour into surgery she was then paralyzed with a huge tube put down her throat. 
 
She woke up but was still paralyzed on the OR table.  She could hear everything the surgeons were saying and staff. She heard that her heart rate was dropping. She heard I cant get a central line that she has blood clots. 
She knew sawing open her chest was next. 
 
She tried to let them know she was awake.The tube down into my chest was a nightmare. the surgery was stopped and she ended up in CICU for 24 hours. At first awake on the ventilator for 8 hours. 

 The next day every top doctor,chief of medicine all tried to start a line big enough for surgery but failed. 
 
Saturday she was sent to another operating room for them to look in her groans but they had blood clots everywhere too.
 
finally the surgeon said it is a greater risk to do the surgery then not too. 

We do not know what will happen next. 
The surgeon released her home with no plans but to be on a blood thinner. 

We are devastated. Waiting on the next plan. 
Thank you for your prayers and support! Ken
