On the day of his birthday, November 12, Kurt Etchegary learned he'd have to undergo heart surgery. During the NHL combine, ultrasound showed he had liquid around his heart. At first they thought they had solved the problem but it came back.
Dr Mulder, who also works for the Canadiens, now follows him and decided he needed to do the operation on thursday. Dr. Mulder believes there's a link between his heart problems and microcystic lymphangioma that Etchegary has had since he was born. This microcystic lymphangioma is responsible for the problems to his face, for those who didn't know. Won't be open heart surgery.
Philippe Boucher: «S'il y en a un qui a été éprouvé depuis sa jeunesse, c'est bien lui. Il démontre de la persévérance de façon incroyable depuis qu'il porte le chandail des Remparts. On est avec lui et il prend ça comme un vrai, comme un autre obstacle qu'il doit surmonter.»
"If there is one person for whom it hasn't been easy since his youth, it's him. He has shown incredible perseverance since he's been with the Remparts. We're with him and he takes it like a champ, another obstacle he must overcome. "
Wish him the best, just a terrific kid.
