How Much Of A Chance Does My Mom Have Of Living ?

How much of a chance does my mom have of living?
My mom is 36 of age she has been having heart problems for the past 2 to 3 years now she might be going in to have heart surgery with a weak heart so how much of a chance does my mom have of surviving on the table and after shes out of the hospital i'm just 15 and i worry more about my mom dieing then my 18 year old sister and my 14 year old sister not trying to act ramatic or anything but they aren't even breaking a sweat over our mom going into heart surgery which for me im scared to death of her dieing

She'll be OK. I recently had a quadruple heart bypass and I didn't even know my arteries were 100% clogged, until I had that little heart attack (I am just alittle older then your mom). There was no heart damage, which is a good thing. But, I see people every single week who have had a stent or two put in or a bypass and more...And some people have had more than one surgery. I think your mom will be fine, as long as she makes sure her blood pressure and cholesterol are good, and she exercises, and eats reasonably and sees her doctor regularly, for any tests she might need. Also, my husband has been in the medical device field for years, and we are pretty much up to date on all the great, new technologies out there. Survival rates are so much higher now, then in the past. So, put your faith in the doctors and your Higher Power and be positive. I wish you all the best!
