Send JOHN a NoteAbout Me
Back when I was born, the doctors noticed I was struggling breathing. A couple days later I was diagnosed with congenital heart disease. After having a successful valve repair and patching of the heart wall I went 33 years with an active, blessed life! But it was always known I'd need my aorta replaced. And the time is now! Within the next few months I'll be having a Ross Procedure. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted!
