About Me (In My Own Words)
In March 2016 I had my 1st TEE showing moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation. My cardiologist and I decided to monitor my symptoms over the next year. This summer I became more tired and short of breath. My latest TEE showed I had advanced to severe. After meeting Dr Joshua Baker today I was glad my cardiologist recommended him and I feel better about surgery. Dr. Baker feels confident a mitral valve repair will work. If during surgery he finds otherwise he will replace with a tisssue valve. These past 2 weeks have progressed quickly! Please keep me in your prayers tomorrow Wednesday 11/29 šš» When Iām out of ICU I will post an update ā¤ļø
