Guest guest Posted June 28, 2001 Report Share Posted June 28, 2001 , or Zander as he is known, had his open heart surgery on 13 June. He did great!!! We are now back home, it's a long drive from Louisiana to Michigan and back again! The doctors and hospital were great. They really tried to limit the use of lasix to the smallest they could get by with and once on the floor they were able to keep us to a private room until the last day. They tried to keep us in a private one because of his hearing loss. He would not wear his aide in bed as it hurt with the pillow. With someone in the bed next to him they felt he would have trouble hearing his TV and themselves when they were talking to him. We couldn't have asked for a more caring staff, both with his operation and their concern for him to be able to hear easier. It is so good to be back home!

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Good for you Zander, and you, too, Mom! I'll bet it feels good to have that behind you. That is a long way to travel---will you return there for follow up visits? Hope you have a speedy recovery and are feeling better than ever very soon!
