My husband did have staph and endocarditis, but because of Molly we were able to catch it extremely early.
My husband has pulmonary atresia and has a conduit with a melody valve inside. Molly has continuously been available for him as a resource anytime he has questions or things don't feel right. On Tuesday morning, my husband called her about flu like symptoms that he was nervous could be endocarditis. Molly listened to his symptoms and not only encouraged him to go into the ER, but also made sure his files were already sent down when we got there. My husband did have staph and endocarditis, but because of Molly we were able to catch it extremely early. Today, we were told that because of how early it was caught, they are optimistic that it can be treated with antibiotics and my husband can avoid open heart surgery. This is because of Molly. We cannot express our gratitude to her or how much we appreciate everything she has done and continues to do for us. She saved my husband's life. Thank you, Molly.
