Thanks for all of your prayers! Never once have I been able to feel that there is anything different about my heart. It is just such a blessing to know that the most likely cause of my stroke has been taken care of.
God is so good!

View the Virtual Procedure
Today was the originally scheduled date for my heart procedure. I guess that makes it a fitting day to see the procedure virtually. After the ASD closure device was implanted in my heart 2 weeks ago, I was given a card to place in my wallet stating that my device is "non-ferromagnetic/MRI safe up to 3.0 Tesla." On the card was a web address for AGA Medical Corporation, the makers of the Amplatzer Occluder (click to view). At their site I found 3 videos. Check out the first 2! The first one talks about the device itself, and the second one demonstrates how the device is placed in the heart. They both gave me a much better understanding of what has been placed inside of me. (The 3rd video is for a different device.)

I am so glad I found your post. I am having the same exact surgery with the same device in JUNE! I am really nervous. I googled the device and found your blog!
How was it?
How is the recovery?
My blog is wordm.blogspot.com
Hi! It's all good news that I have to share. David did great during and after the procedure - doesn't feel any different at all - had a very quick recovery with no problems at all.
I don't know if you're search brought you just to this specific post of the whole blog, but there are other posts - a couple of them - preceding this one with a lot of detail about the procedure and how things went.
Best wishes to you!!
