Three years today since Sebastian had his bicuspid valve repair. I am very thankful for every day he remains stable.

Shelly Hubbard hi I also have bicuspid. Have not had surgery yet but also very depressed about it. I had to go back on antidepressants. I thought they can only do open heart with only 2 heart valves as not FDA approved to do less invasive? I would like to know more?

Jill Mullikin The site ate my journal entry but tomorrow is 2 years since his BAV repair. We are still having some trouble finding the right job for him and there is still some leakage but the cardiologist said to keep doing what he’s been doing.

Marie Myers Wow, time does fly! How has your son done emotionally? Heart surgery at a young age is not an easy journey, I am sure.

Jill Mullikin Hi Marie. The further we get from surgery the calmer I get, however, I think it’s working in reverse for him. He is very apprehensive about doing anything physical and any twinge of illness makes him panic. He had issues with anxiety and depression before we learned of his valve and aneurysm and he was a bit traumatized by the surgery. The fear of Covid has also not helped.

Marie Myers I hope things settle down for him. I understand that anxiety about future /possible issues. I still g ... Read more

Marie Myers I hope things settle down for him. I understand that anxiety about future /possible issues. I still get high BP readings when I visit the doc, and getting an echocardiogram can definitely raise my anxiety levels. Again, I hope things settle down for him as he matures.

16 months post BAV valve repair and still doing well! I am very thankful for every month of good health and hope his repair lasts a very long time. He’s working at Subaru assembling cars and, so far, it’s working out well.

Skipper Kagamaster A fellow Subie lover; awesome! My '04 STi is one of the best things I've ever bought.

Thomas Brusstar Good news! Thanks for the update!

Jill Mullikin It’s a small Subaru world! I have to give them props for their safety program. Anything over 10 pounds had a lift assist so I don’t have to worry as much about him over exerting himself. He was given a 50 pound restriction to hopefully prolong the life of the repair. Thank you everyone for your kind words! This is a hard road for everyone but to see the will to persevere is uplifting.

I’m still trying to convince him to post his thoughts about his journey but for now this will have to do.

Tomorrow marks 6 weeks since surgery! Bastian will be 20 this coming Saturday and went to his dad’s this weekend to celebrate. I love seeing smiles! If you look closely you can just see his incision.
