Not the news we wanted to hear

I think I had prepared myself yesterday that we may hear these words ( It's time for surgery) but it still knocked the wind out of me. I first thought we had made it through the visit without to much change. Dr. Villafane was pleased with the small amount of growth in her heart size in the past 6 months from the X-rays, but then the sonogram of her heart would change everything. The first small red flag to me was that she had gained 4 pounds in 6 months ( a growth spurt) something that never happens for Jenna, something that has been told to us over and over again that when it happens would cause more leakage of her valve. Sure enough, there on the sonogram bright color was tons leakage. The nurse finished up and told her to put her clothes back on and for us to wait for the doctor. A few minutes later Dr. V came back in the room, only to have Jenna take her shirt back off and back on the table and he started to re-do the sonogram on her heart, putting her in many strange positions they had never done before and they were talking about things we had no idea about. Panic was setting in with both Scott and I at this point. He finished up and said, well guys I don't think we can wait any longer, her leak is now a massive one and it's to dangerous to wait, she needs to see a surgeon. He discussed two procedures that could be done, valve replacement most likely with about a two month recover period, and then a possible balloon cath procedure that could buy her a few more years before a valve replacement is needed, he isn't hopeful that surgeon will allow it with the amount of leakage but we will have to wait and see. It will take 2 weeks to even get a call from a surgeon, then we have to get an appointment, then they want to try and get it scheduled ASAP, because right now she isn't cleared to go to China and she will need 2 months to recover before she would be cleared.
We have not discussed much detail with her yet as we waiting to talk to the surgeon first. Please say a lot of prayers for her.
