Hi Leslie, thanks for the update on Drake. I'm happy he is recovering quickly. As you know I had my surgery done at Mt. Sinai and I was never told to take Aleve. I did take Advil for maybe 6-8 weeks after surgery for inflammation. 6 months sounds a bit... Read more.

Hey Leslie, glad your son is doing well. I too had the Ross done in about 2 months and a half ago and I was never told to take Aleve either. Just Tylenol for pain. Currently on baby aspirin and Metoprolol 25mg.

If your son would prefer you there, then stay there, especially if the doctor agrees. You can spend the day in the hospital in any case and be near him. I understand your anxiety which is completely normal. Breathe. One day at a time. You have already organised the trip... Read more.

I will be there mid July. I found a nice Airbnb.It has a kitchenette, and is an 8 min walk to the hospital I thought the price was reasonable after checking hotels in the area which were much higher. Fingers crossed that it works out as well as I hope... Read more.

I had a good surgical outcome after my open heart surgery. I can say I didn't really want visitors all the time because then I had to think about what they were seeing and doing. Find out when you can be helpful or basically have fun, maybe meal times. Like... Read more.
