Stephanie Mikrut Thank you, Anthony! I am sorry I did not see your post sooner. I am still learning my way around the areas of the site and just discovered the "guest book".

Stephanie Mikrut I'm so sorry I did not see these posts sooner! (I'm still learning the various areas of the site!) My visit at NW went fantastic. They said my valve is repairable but doesn't have to be done quite yet. I'll be back there in 6 months for another stress echo and follow-up. Adam - I'll be sure to tell Dr. McCarthy hello from you if I see him during my summer appointment!
