Good news,

It is two weeks and two days past  my son's open heart surgery. He had his post-surgery echo and all of the meetings with the surgeon and cardiologist this past week.
His aortic valve is looking great.

We drove back from Ohio on Thursday and he is now back in Bucktown. (an area in Chicago).

I can't say enough good things about Toledo Hospital (a highly regarded cardiac center), the staff, Dr. Moront and Dr.Hussein.

Kate ....

During the symposium (and subsequent vacation) I was out of email contact for over a week and missed most of this thread until tonight.  What good news about Keith and how well he is doing!  I did ask someone about you during the symposium so I knew he had come through the surgery OK.

So glad you sought out the best possible medical care ...... the end results can be so different.

Thoughts and prayers continue.

Glad to hear it, Kate. I wonder if I have a good looking aortic valve? :)
