About Me

61 year old male - Heart murmur determined to be Severe Aortic Stenosis with also an aortic aneurysm at the root. Scheduled for open heart surgery on November 12th. My wife, Cheryl, is creating this profile as we are desperate for other options other than cracking open David's chest and giving him Pump Head along with weeks of severe painful healing with opportunities for many other issues to arise.
