Wow, seems like just a few months ago, we were spurring you on for your heart surgery. You accomplished a lot since then! You are a fighter for sure. Impressed Dr R gave you a check-up one year after surgery. I didn't think most surgeons did that, do they?

Great news Tim and you look amazing! I had Dr. Roselli last October too. Valerie, if you have any questions please let me know too❤️

Pam, glad to hear you are doing well too. As I felt Dr Roselli's firm handshake yesterday I was overwhelmed by the power of God's healing that goes thru that gifted man's hands to heal us who are blessed to have him as our surgeon.

Hi HVS Family and Friends, I am getting discharged later today. God has guided Dr Roselli to spare my aortic valve by repairing my leaflets. I went from 46% to 0% leakage/regurgitation. The recovery had lots of ups and a few downs to include a collapsed lung and a really... Read more.

Thank you Susan, Rose, Tom, Ana, Pamela, Klara, Rhodie, and Thomas for your well wishes. This has been so much easier with all your prayers and support. I got on the exercise bike today... and was proud to do 10 mins/1.75 miles. Did not anticipate adding any additional miles to... Read more.

We made it to Cleveland Clinic and have completed all the pre-op appointments. Am so thankful for Dr Roselli taking his time after all day in the OR to talk through his plan. Surgery is set for Monday morning at 10 am. This hospital is truly amazing.
