I look forward to the day I am fixed, Iâ€™m at the beginning of my journey, itâ€™s only been 3 months since I was diagnosed and that time has been rough, Iâ€™ve gone from being active knowing there was a problem to where I am now and it isnâ€™t something... Read more.

Woo-hoo! Surgery is in the rearview mirror. Sorry you had a bump in the road at the hospital, but hopefully, you'll have an uneventful recovery. Walk. Rest. Repeat. You'll be on to life's great adventures, again, soon. Please keep us posted on your progress! â¤

It's amazing how strong our spouses are. I've been married to mine for 26 years and she continues to amaze me. You were the first heart warrior to reach out to me so I hope you continue to do well. With your attitude I know you will

Itâ€™s Robyn again. All is going great. Steve is in the ICU, awake and talking. He is weak and in pain, but that is to be expected. The doctor said the first two days after surgery are the worst and then there tends to be a dramatic improvement after that.... Read more.

Hi itâ€™s Robyn again. I just received a call from the surgeon. The surgery went great and he is off the heart/lung machine. He should be closed up and out of surgery within the hour.

God bless. He's in the best hands. I had a Ross with Dr. Stelzer October 2015 and feel like a million bucks. The guy is a true master of his craft and one of the nicest and warmest medical professionals in the country. Hang in there and it's going to... Read more.
