So glad to hear that Ryan is doing well! Have been following along with the journals. I was diagnosed with bicusipid aortic valve at the age of 9 and expected to have surgery any time. Here I am 32 years old and endocarditis is necessitating it finally happening next month. Good luck to Ryan and family through his recovery and I\'m glad he gets to experience growing up knowing his valve is handled instead of constantly worrying.

Ryan Kukawski Hi Derrick. Thanks for leaving Ryan a message. You are so right about the worrying...that started for Ryan about a year ago. Prior to that he was invincible. I know you will do great with your surgery...Ryan said the hardest part was waking up on the ventilator....everything else is cake! If your on facebook there are some great pages to join. Bicuspid valve group and heart patients support. Good luck! We'll be following you next :)

Ryan\'s progress and your delight in it brings tears to my eyes. It\'s been a short while since my two boys were teenagers so I can relate to your feelings of gratitude.
Way to go Ryan!

Hello,
As a parent I understand what you are going through. When my youngest who is now over two was 6 weeks old he went in for open heart surgery. As a member of the \"zipper club\" myself this year(2/20/12). I know he\'s in good hands and you can recover quickly from this. I am feeling great and keeping up with my boys. My youngest we keep a close eye on as he still has a Bicuspid calve with a gradient of 34 so we know at somepoint he will need something done again.
Good luck to you and your family and we will be praying for you today.
