About Me (In My Own Words)
A number of years ago Charlie was diagnosed with a leaky bicuspid aortic valve with stenosis. In January of 2012 he started having shortness of breath issues and they did an echocardiogram and then a TEE. Within the last nine months his heart valve was moderately worse. We were on a wait and hold for 6 months. Then he hurt his back on March 7th. He was on pain medication oxycodene, valium & ibuprofen. He slowly came off them and started running weird fevers and chills and was shaking uncontrollably. Along story short on May 16th 2012 he was diagnosed with infective endocarditis and was admitted to the hospital for 6 days. On May 21st he was released from the hospital with a PIC catheter in his arm. He started with two antibiotics everyday for the next 5 weeks. Once the infection is cleared he will have surgery. This is our journey together. Julia & Charlie
