Re: [marfans_support_and_chat] coumadin

My nephew had his valve replaced during the summer of his senior year of college.  By the time school started in the fall he was ready and able to carry his packpack with his books in it (although not full) without any problems.

surgery now is that it will be more difficult to have
children because of the coumadin. They did not tell me
about the side effects of the drugs. This definitely
