About Me

I'm 38, 2 perfect kiddos, incredible wife, and just had a bomb dropped on me -- I need an aortic valve. I had what I thought was some type of occasional vertigo only to learn that my dizziness is caused by severe aortic stenosis. Evidently, I was born with a bicuspid aortic valve which is pretty rare. I look forward to learning from others here and sharing my experiences to help families that are about to go through what I am. God bless you.
