Hi Sue , After open heart surgery everyone ‘s recovery is different . We all started slowly and gradually built up our walking . Listening to your body and doing what you feel able to and gradually increasing exercise . Your son is young and will be wanting to be out and about as soon as possible .

I hope this information helps you .
