Posted by alishanjosh @alishanjosh, Mar 5, 2019

Hi! My daughter is having heart surgery on Monday to repair her mitral valve, can parents sleep overnight with their child in the CSICU?

@alishanjosh How did the surgery go? Did you stay in the room with your daughter? Did you get any rest? I have so many questions. Don't feel obliged to answer them. I can wait until you have time or the inclination. Just know we're thinking about you and your family.

Hi! Surgery went great! Now recovery is a little challenging but she’s doing a great job. I was able to stay in the ICU room with my daughter but my husband had to sleep in the waiting room. It was nice now that the waiting rooms had recliners, not the most comfortable but a lot better than the chairs and tiny couches they use to have! Thanks for responding back!
