This is little Pete making sure my new valve works ok.
Oh my goodness!! He is too cute!! You are looking great too!
Look at that big head! So cute! Nine months?
almost 8 months -- fat baby syndrome; he's a good eater and sleeper. Watching him have an echocardiogram was the scariest thing so far. Thankfully, they did not find any indication that he has any stenosis or any other heart disease. He let out a big fart at the end... Read more.
Oh my, what a little angel!! So grateful his heart is sound, and that you seem very well! Big Petey, little petey, Tony bag a' donuts😄💕 obviously little Pete has a great sense of humor😄
Excellent news for little Pete! I had one of those big-headed kids, too. He's a big handsome 20-year-old now.

Wow, they let you see the valve? I bet you are glad to have a new one. Amazing how our bodies accommodate to our "imperfections."
Peter-Glad that you are on the "Other Side"! but to be honest with you I prefer your Fish photo to the one above. Continued smooth healing in this new Year with your new valve!
Wow! Congratulations Peter for getting this thing replaced. Are you part alien?
I've just laughed out loud at Terrie's comment!! :) I hope you're not pickling it for "interesting" dinner party conversations ;)

^^ You all are funny! I wanted to see mine and forgot to ask.
My surgeon gave me a picture of the valve both in my heart and after removal. It was pretty cool to see. My surgeon called the valve "pretty crappy"
Wow! That's amazing. Didn't you say you were asymptotic a few months about? Best wishes on a smooth recovery.
Yes; its amazing to me that I was generally asymptomatic the few months before surgery.
Wow... Never thought to ask but I had a repair not replace. Amazing.
