David Sets New Fashion Trend!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Ya just gotta see it… To love it.<\/p>\n

Here is David Russ modeling a new t-shirt that is setting fashion trends from Milan to Paris to Los Angeles. That’s right. After his aortic valve replacement<\/a>\u00a0by Dr. Kevin Accola at AdventHealth, David took to Facebook to show off a fantastic, post-op smile and an awesome t-shirt<\/a> featuring a cow standing on top of a heart rhythm.<\/p>\n

As Nancy, his wife posted at Facebook, “My hubby’s aortic valve was replaced with a bovine [cow] valve 96 hours ago.\u00a0 Went home today… Doing well so far!\u00a0 God is Good and Life is Great.\u00a0 His surgeon, Dr. Kevin Accola, is a true Rock Star and we will be forever grateful to him to God for guiding his skilled surgeon hands.”<\/p>\n

So you know, this t-shirt was designed by Damian, a two-time open heart surgery patient.\u00a0 Here’s a close-up of the t-shirt.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to David for raising awareness to heart valve disease and cow valve replacements through his stylish t-shirt.\u00a0 And, a special thanks to Dr. Kevin Accola at AdventHealth<\/a> for yet #AnotherAccolaSuccessStory.\u00a0 (Yes, Dr. Accola has helped so many patients in our community, we gave him his own hash tag.)<\/p>\n

[June 22 Update] After posting this story yesterday, my inbox flooded with patients wanting to purchase this t-shirt.\u00a0 I just found it at Amazon. To learn more or buy the t-shirt, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Keep on tickin’ David!
