One thing I love about being a part of this community is seeing and hearing wonderful patient stories. I often tell Robyn, my wife, I'm constantly "TMI'd" by this community. (So you know, the acronym TMI, in our family, means touched, moved and inspired. :) )
Well... I was just TMI'd again thanks to Tony Taddeo, a 91-year old heart valve patient, and Dr. Michael Mack, his cardiac surgeon. If you are ready for a little TMI, please watch Tony's video below:

Many thanks to Tony Taddeo for being such an inspiration to our community!!! Also, we would like to thank Dr. Michael Mack and his awesome team at The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano for their excellent care of Tony!!!
Keep on tickin' Tony!
