About Me (In My Own Words)
Despite (or because of) surviving 2 open heart surgeries, one when I was 18 months and one when I was eleven, I have always been an avid athlete. I love skiing 50km nordic races and running upwards of 10 miles on any given day. A few months ago, I began noticing shortness of breath, and the pediatric cardiologist who has followed me for all 25 years of my life suggested I go see a cardiologist in my new home in Boston, Massachusetts. After a series of stress tests, EKGs, and MRIs, my doctors and I have decided that the time has come to replace my aortic valve.
I will be updating this journal periodically throughout the next few weeks, and my sister, Sally, will be updating when I am unable to. If you wish to receive updates on my progress, please subscribe to the journal or check back when you can!
