About Me

I have a bicuspid aortic valve and a newly discovered ASD. I didn't know I had this until my twins were 2 years old. My husband I have always lived a very active life, we hike, ride bikes and play at the beach. I am very active and I am looking forward to surfing and climbing again. I teach 3rd grade and I hope for a speedy recovery.
