With my prior 2 years experience with heart problems and multiple procedures and test, my aortic valve was discussed multiple times! I was told it wasn’t ready for replacement! After a hospital stay in December 2023 I was released from the hospital with shortness of breath and fatigue/weakness and edema in my legs symptoms! My insurance authorized home care nurse and physical therapy. After several weeks my progress was minimal and the shortness of breath and edema had gotten worse! At that point my home care nurse called my nephrologist with concerns of my well being. I was told to go directly to hospital ED and she, the nephrologist , would meet me there! After a couple of test it was determined I needed my aortic valve replaced! I was admitted to Advent Hospital Pepin Heart Institute for the surgery. After a weekend of dialysis I was cleared for surgery and the results were a miracle! Now 30 days after TAVR surgery I’m feeling better everyday and currently attending Advent Cardiac Rehabilitation and I’m up to 2 miles on my goal of 3 miles a day in the near future! Feeling better than good and thankful to God, my Doctors, Nurses, Technicians at Advent Hospital for saving my life! God is Good!🙏

I was admitted due to a fall in August 2024 and the care I received was phenomenal from the minute I walked in, everyone was attentive and helpful trying to ease my concerns. Once I was admitted to a room I was quickly taken for the required test and monitored every hour. I saw many people, doctors, nurses and specialists but one nurse was absolutely amazing. Her name was Kendra and I honestly have never met a human who was attentive, calm, patient and kind as her. She checked on me kept me informed on my status got me food early because I had not eaten anything and while I took a shower she changed my bedding. During discharge she told me what to look for and things in my labs I should follow up on. She was the sweetest caring nurse I have ever met and truly helped me during that very scary situation. I thank everyone who I came in contact with those two days I was there but she will forever be in my heart for the care she provided me.

I love the idea of my chart so I can find all the information I need to the problem. Is that more often or not there is a technical problem that does not allow you to actually get onto my chart. This is extremely frustrating also as well when you actually do manage to get on it more often than not you’re also kicked out It’s not very helpful when you’re trying to find out the results of your medical records. If you could sort this out, I really would appreciate this as I think it would make it much more available to plenty of people. Want to join because they think it’s going to be complicated and it’s difficult for older people to understand how to use this app in the first place also as well the doctors and nurses and everybody else at the hospital as they say it’s just the app if you could do something about it and it doesn’t matter if you try to get on it at 3 o’clock in the morning, it still won’t let you on Thank you very much and have a blessed day
