Jimmy Hoppa shared with us that he is having open heart surgery on September 1st. Jimmy says he has a minor form of Marfran Syndrome, which includes Atrial Fibrillation. Jimmy says he has an aneurysm, and doctors are performing the surgery to, among other things, take out a piece of his aorta, and replace a valve.
Jimmy has asked the community to pray for him, and for the surgeons. He says he’s looking forward to the surgery because he’s going to be so much better afterwards.
Captain Willie Dykes joined Jimmy to discuss the procedure. You may remember – Capt. Willie also had a heart scare. He sat down with DelmarvaLife to talk about it in April.
