Have a great birthday, Dawn Marie!!!!!

Glad to hear this latest good report. Hang in there everybody.

It's great to see you back and posting! I come in and out of the forum, but always look for your posts. Take care.

I'm so very sorry, Karlynn. I know how hard this is...it happened to me in between the births of my two boys--also at the end of my first trimester. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I just voted for the date and close to the time my brother and I were born...almost 57 yrs ago. Go boy/girl twins!!!

I always thought it was boy/girl twins! But probably because I'm part of a boy/girl set myself. I'll be checking in to see those 3-D ultrasound pics! Get ready for the ride of your life--two are so much fun!

Sending thoughts and prayers to Dawn Marie.

A very happy, belated birthday, Phyllis!! Sorry to be late with my wishes, but glad to see this and be able to wish you all of the best. Hope this year is happy and healthy for you and all of your family.

My son shares some characteristics in addition to his aorta with Marfan people--tall and skinny, long arms and legs, lax joints that can pop out unexpectedly, recessed jaw, etc.--but not enough for a diagnosis of Marfan's. Dr. said to us also that BAV and Marfan can be associated with each other.

I'm just seeing this whole thread. Phyllis, you and your sister have my deepest support and prayers. So many times your kind and caring words have helped me in worried times. I hope all of the good you have done for your vr friends will come back to you and your family many-fold. We will...

We've had great luck with tomatoes in large terra cotta pots. They produce and produce. But you have to keep after the watering, as they dry out way more quickly than if they are in the ground.

I'm so, so sorry. This has happened to me twice and I know how you feel. Our beloved pets don't live as long as we do--it doesn't seem fair. It will get better with time. My heart goes out to you.

I'm a fraternal twin, and I wanted to say it's a great way to go! We argued from time to time:) until we were in high school, but we've been best friends ever since. I actually liked sharing my birthday--more party--and when we were teens I always got to meet all of my brother's new friends...

When we discovered Matt's valve 5 yrs ago, I found this forum and you've been with me ever since. I'm so glad to be a part of this family.

Thanks for the warm replies. After I wrote the slightly smug sentence about realizing the Ross Proceedure was not a good option for our BAV situation two years before the dr, I realized that he had been warming us up to it in case surgery became necessary while Matt was still growing--which...

Hello all-- I just wanted to share the good news of our yearly cardio visit today. For the first time ever none of the heart dimensions has increased--even though Matt has grown two inches and gained twenty pounds! If his LV and aorta dimensions had continued to rise at the rate they had been...

Thanks for the good report. I'm always rooting for you guys. So happy the exam went well. Matt goes for his yearly in less than a month and the stomach is starting to tighten a wee bit, as it does every year about this time.

Deepest sympathies to the family. Debora's posts here always exuded positivity and sweetness. I was wondering how she was doing and am so sorry to read this.

If you are interested in the Ross, check out posts by StretchL. He had a very positive experience and kept us informed in detail, including pictures. Very informative.

I'm so sorry for all your troubles. Your mention of Sarah's right-sided numbness sounds so much like what Matt has from time to time. After all the testing--MRI, etc--it was finally diagnosed as "complicated migraine." I hope you find this reassuring. Of course, these things must be checked...
