About Me

In fall 2024, I was diagnosed with Bicuspid Aortic Valve, mild regurgitation, and a 4.4cm dilated aorta. I am in the "wait and see mode" with an echo and MRI done annually. It's so refreshing to see the support of this community and I look forward to connecting with others to share experiences. I am 33, very active (I run marathons) and overall very healthy, so this has been a bit of a surprise for me. Each day is a little better. I appreciate the kindness and support!
