MA, you and your husband are in our prayers. Going to  light a candle-- Lois

My husband is at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio right now.  He will have 
open-heart surgery on Tuesday (aortic valve replacement and  cardiac 
myeomectomy). I'll be driving there on Monday to be there for the  surgery, 
and 
will remain in Cleveland while he's in the hospital. Of course,  I'm 
worried 
about the surgery itself, but I'm more worried about the  opportunities for 
infections while he's there. So I'm taking a gallon of CS  -- is that 
enough? 
I'd also like to take some CS gel (courtesy of Ode's  kit). I don't know 
how the 
hospital staff would feel about an unknown gel  product on the incision 
itself, 
so I may not get that done until we're out  of there. Any advice from 
anyone 
will be greatly appreciated.
MA
