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.<\/p>\n

Just now, I was\u00a0surfing through the website when I came across the journal of Sarah Weir from New York, New York.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Sarah
\nSarah Weir – Heart Valve Repair Patient<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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<\/a> at Children’s Hospital Boston will be performing the mitral valve repair. As you may recall, Dr. Del Nido was Baby Gabe’s surgeon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I wanted to take a quick moment to wish Sarah a very “Happy Birthday!” Sarah is turning 5 years old on Monday.<\/p>\n

Secondly, I wanted Sarah, Rachel, Pam and Daniel to know that my thoughts and prayers are with them. To view Sarah’s journal, please click here<\/a>. To leave a message in Sarah’s guestbook, please click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Keep on tickin’ Sarah!
