Big 5th Birthday Wishes And Heart Valve Prayers For Sarah!

By Adam Pick on March 10, 2011

When we started HeartValveJournals.com, our social network, I didn't know what to expect. But now, 15 months later, I am constantly touched, moved and inspired by the patients and the caregivers who openly share their hearts in this special community.

Just now, I was surfing through the website when I came across the journal of Sarah Weir from New York, New York.

As you can read in her story, Sarah was recently diagnosed with severe mitral valve regurgitation. Her surgery is scheduled for March 16th -- next Wednesday. Doctor Pedro Del Nido at Children's Hospital Boston will be performing the mitral valve repair. As you may recall, Dr. Del Nido was Baby Gabe's surgeon.

I wanted to take a quick moment to wish Sarah a very "Happy Birthday!" Sarah is turning 5 years old on Monday.

Secondly, I wanted Sarah, Rachel, Pam and Daniel to know that my thoughts and prayers are with them.

Keep on tickin' Sarah!
