Suprised myself with a last minute decision...

Karen, I'm happy that you have made the right choice for you and your family. I'm an eight year valver - coumadin user (geez, makes me sound like a junkie ) and really haven't had any problems to speak of. You'll do just fine.

Glad you found your way to our wonderful site. It will be so helpful in the days and years to come. It still helps me this many years later.

Karen-Really glad to see that you are doing well!!! I'm in the waiting room and getting ready to get a 2nd opinion at Hopkins on the 18th with Dr.Cameron.I'm wondering how your experience was at Hopkins.Did they allow someone to stay in your room after surgery? I'm trying to decide between Union Memorial and Hopkins.Any input would be greatly appreciated.Take care of yourself!!!

Hi Kevin & Janene,

I LOVED Johns Hopkins and yes, they have rooming-in after surgery if you get a private room. One of the instructions for roomers that made me laught was "please don't wear your pajamas in the hall." Who would do that?

All the nurses at Hopkins were excellent and I remember one speaking very highly of Dr. Cameron. I would go there again in a heartbeat

I did have two babies at Union Memorial and both were a good experience. I would choose Hopkins for cardiac care every time though.

Please follow Karen's advice and go with John Hopkin's. When making the decision for OHS, you need to go with the best you can get.
