I completed a follow-up echo today one year after my Ross procedure at Mt Sinai in New York. My valves are looking great!
Enjoyed seeing some of my New York team heroes again -Dr. El-Hamamsy, Dr. Williams, Roberto and Leemor ❤️
Celebrated with my family with some unbelievably tasty gelato!😋

Great pic, Grace!
I agree with Nancy you are looking healthy and ready for anything dressed in your new swag.
Looking good!!
Looking great, Grace. Hearing about the sternal non union must have been disappointing. Have you had a chance to speak with the surgeon's office yet? I'm not familiar with it.
Congrats! You wear it well, Grace! ❤️
Weird. You had the plates right?
Yeah! Glad you are feeling good and that's excellent that you have been able to have more intense workouts — I know how good that must feel! I am sorry to hear about your sternum — I hope the plates will hold things together? I heard some clicking a couple... Read more.
Nice stuff and it looks good on you! I remember someone several years ago that had the sternal non union. Unfortunately, I can't remember who it was but I do think she had to have a second surgery to fix it. I hope I'm wrong for your sake. What have... Read more.
Looks great, Grace!
You look amazing Grace! I have never heard of the sternal non union but just looked it up. Hopefully something they can address without being too much. Sounds like your surgery is working beautifully as far as your heart goes❤️
Looking full of energy, Grace! Keep us posted on the sternal non-union- something that many of us worry about!
Beautiful Grace! You're the picture of health! Does this have anything to do with the rigid fixation option you chose? I'm sorry you're going through this. Please keep us posted. 🙏❤️
Thanks for all your kind words and well wishes 💗💗
Valerie I have sent a disc of my images to my surgeons office. Hoping to hear some feedback from them this coming week. I agree Dewayne, weird. I did request and receive rigid fixation, which is what they would typically... Read more.
