Happy birthday, Steve. Wishing you many, many more BDs in the Waiting Room!

Happy birthday, dear katie, happy birthday to you!!!!!

Hello to a fellow Iowan! My son and I met with Dr. Hockmuth about four years ago to discuss the Ross procedure, and at that time he had only done about fifteen--he's been busy since then!--a good sign--and that is a very encouraging percentage for reop. We liked him very much--were impressed...

I can't wait to hear if you have two boys, two girls or one of each! I was the girl half of one of each, and again, it's a great way to go! My mom always said it was easier in the long run because there was always a playmate available. She never stopped saying how lucky she felt to have twins.

My heart goes out to you. It has happened to me before and it will again--still I can never prepare myself. When you feel it is time, the happy nonsense of a new puppy does much to heal the pain... My thoughts are with you.

Warmest congratulations on your news. What an inspiring saga! I'd like to put in (in case you have a pair of twins in your future), that I was a fraternal twin and ask anyone in my family (including my mom), it is a great way to go! I couldn't be happier for you. Thanks for sharing with us.

I'm so excited and happy for you, Nikki, and wish you the very best of luck!

A very happy birthday to both of you--have a fun day!!

I just wanted to add one more set of thoughts and prayers. I am holding in my mind the thought that you will make your way to the right doctor--the one with the skill and heart for the job. My prayers continue.

So very glad to hear this. What a wonderful way to celebrate!

Happy Birthday, Wise!!

Dr. Stelzer mentioned Dr. Brown to us as someone he would highly recommend to do the Ross for someone looking for a surgeon in the midwest. Best of luck.

Please add my thoughts and prayers. I wish you all the best, Darlene, as you search for the correct diagnosis and cure. Here's hoping that cure will be quick and complete.

Sherry, has your diet changed in any way--have you eaten alot of anything not usually in your diet? Many people with migraine notice a connection with the food they eat with caffeine, chocolate, red wine, nuts and citrus being common, but not the only, culprits. Watching out for food triggers...

Extremely interesting! My BAV son has aura, usually without headaches, and I have always, on the gut-level, felt that the two were connected. There is already a proven link between atrial septal defect and migraine. My son has had a "bubble study" to rule this out. (Pathfinder, have you had...

Wonderful news. Great job Curtis, and great job Mom! Looking forward to hearing that you are home.

Hope everything goes smoothly and it's over before you know it. Good vibes and support coming your way.

Hi. My son is sixteen and playing the waiting game. He leaves the whole heart-thing to me, and so does not frequent any of the boards, but I wanted to wish you the very best of luck. I've heard that the U of Mich is one of the best places to go for congenital heart surgery. Best wishes.

All the best, Dawn Marie, for a sucessful surgery and as little time on the vent as possible. I'll be sending good thoughts your way. I know how you feel about your cats. I have two cats too, and they are very important in my life. Take care and keep us posted. Jane

I'm so touched by your wishes. Thank you so much. Ever since I was floored by my son's diagnosis and learned to cope by obsessive research :) you have all understood, not to mention educated, in a way no one else could have. I really don't know what I would have done without you all. You are...
