Christina and I have been together for five years. We are closing in on our first anniversary (06/07/09). We own a small home in S. Mpls and both work dtwn Mpls.
We are also one week away from Christina's third heart surgery. She had surgeries at age 4 and 13. Christina's aortic valve has moderate to severe stenosis. Dr. Vib Kshettry will be performing the surgery at Abbott Northwestern - Mpls Heart Hospital. We had an option of a mechanical or tissue valve. We chose the mechanical valve after much conversation. It should eliminate the need for a future surgery. It will require Christina to take a blood thinner indefinitely which will create a life style change for the both of us. We look forward to fixing this problem and improving her health.
We appreciate and welcome your support. We will use this blog to communicate her status updates and share information. - Thanks for being a part of our lives - Sam
