About Me (In My Own Words)
Ryan's story begins with a diagnosis for ADHD and at the age of 10 his father and I decided it was time for medication. Fortunately, the medication could sometimes cause electrical problems within the heart so we took Ryan to see a cardiologist, just for some routine screen to make sure everything was okay.
Ryan's congenital heart defect (bicuspid aoritc valve w/aortic insufficency) was discovered at that time. Since discovery Ryan is now 15 years old and we've been told recently that it is time to replace Ryan's valve.
We've always known that the time would eventually come for Ryan's surgery. However, the actual words were not easy to hear. So now we are researching and researching all of the options for replacement.
