About Me

Happy 2015! This past Fall I was diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic valve and a dilated ascending aorta. My wonderful doctors here at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, MI have recommended I have the aorta replaced, and the valve either replaced or repaired. On Wednesday, Jan 7th I am heading down to the Cleveland Clinic to get a second opinion. I am quite nervous but looking forward to tackling this issue and being on the other side of it. Sending lots of positive vibes and healing energy to everyone else facing this situation, Jen Anderson
