		<description>Jonathan,
         I was looking through some blogs re: open heart surgery and ran into yours. My prayers are with you and your family during what should now be about your 2nd week of recovery. I also have a Bicuspid Aortic Valve congenitally. I am 40 years old and have been monitored by my cardiologist for the past 9 years. I will be having Open Heart surgery in Nov. to replace my Aortic valve. I have chosen a mechanical valve for longevity even though it means Coumadin Therapy lifelong. There is a great website to go to regarding BAVD. www.bicuspidfoundation.com. There is alot of info. about BAVD being hereditary and the fact that it is high risk for Ascending Aortic Dissections/Anyeurisms, as you know from first hand experience. Best wishes to you and your family. I hope you are healing well and getting stronger every day.
                                 Jackie</description>

		<description>Hey stranger,

Thanks for including me on the blog announcement list (for lack of a better term). Kara and I will be praying for you and Tricia. Hopefully we can come out that way and see you in the not-so-distant future. Shoot me a line when you have a few minutes.

		<description>This is a good idea; thanks for letting me know about it.
I still remember the doctor's visit where they first discovered the weakness in the aorta wall.

Sherri and I will definitely be there on the 25th and I'm planning to donate some platelets for you next Thursday.

		<description>Jon,

I wish you the best of luck. I hope all goes well, and you can past this as quickly as possible. If you or tricia need anything, feel free to ask Nicole or I.

Again, I wish you the best,

John</description>
