About Me

I am a 30 year old stay at home Mom of 3 wonderful children. I also am a boudoir photographer on the side. I was diagnosed in August after a routine annual exam. My doctor found a mumur and she requested an echo and reffered me to a cardiologist. After seeing the cardiologist, an echo and a TEE, he found out that I had severe mitral regurgitaion. My open heart sugery is scheduled for October 6th, 2011.
