About Me

Hello everyone. I joined this amazing site to help my husband through his diagnosis. He was diagnosed with aortic regurgitation earlier this year due to a bicuspid aortic valve. I am so happy to have joined this communiy. I hope my husband's story inspires others to help them with their disgnosis. Update: My husband had his valve successfully repaired by the talented Dr. Alfredo Trento at Cedars-Sinai. He was discharged from the hospital only 4 days after his surgery and is at home recovering well so far.
