About Me (In My Own Words)
I was born with a fused tricuspid aortic valve, and have lived with congenital aortic stenosis my whole life. Now, at the age of 38, I'm preparing to undergo both aortic valve replacement surgery and will likely also have a prosthesis installed for a mild ascending aorta. I have a 2.5 year old and a 5 month old, and am both terrified and thankful that that procedures have advanced as far as they have in the last few years.
