Jeff,
So glad to hear how great you are doing, but I knew you were in great hands at Mt. Sinai. Continue to recover, and before you know it you will be home.
Take care,

Great news on your recovery - just remember to no 'Over-due' things too soon. Even if you are feeling good your body is still healing many weeks later.
Best!

Jeffrey, Praying for your speedy, full recovery. I just heard of you and read your story for the first time. Like your former self, I have a bicuspid aortic valve with moderate stenosis. Congratulations on the "former" part of that! I am also 40, have a loving wife, three great kids -- two girls and a boy -- and have been interested in the Ross procedure since my diagnosis in 2009. So, your story kind of hits close to home! Praying for you and yours, that you will recover uneventfully and speedily and that you'll be contributing to this community for 45 more years! -Scott Johnson, Chattanooga, TN

Good news, Seems like everyone is getting just a little faster than the last one. Thats amazing. But maybe its because you had your band of angels around you. Keep up the good work Jeff.
For the long haul

Hi Carol & Jeff
I'm so glad to hear how well your doing!!! You went thru a really tough surgery and cane out swinging . The prayers will continue for you both :)
On March 8, 2012...
I am so happy for two reasons. The first being that you are doing so very well, the second, is that no one seemed to believe me that I was out of ICU in 16 hours and home four days later. I knew you would " knock it out of the park".
The shock was that I did

Glad to hear you are doing so well !
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thanks for the updates Carol.
You must be so relieved.
