That is good news. My husband had a aortic valve prolapse (murmur/leaky valve) since birth. His was replaced on June of 2001 at the age of 52. He started showing signs of fatique and all of a sudden got light headed. He was a motorcycle trooper so it had to be taken care of. He had a skin cancer removed without antibiotics which caused him to get endocarditis (infection or inflammation on the heart or valve). The damage to the valve that the endocarditis caused pushed up the need for his valve replacement surgery. I say all of that to say that your son may need to have an antibiotic for any dental procedures or surgery. He also should to be careful with any skin injuries/infections. Not to stick my nose in but thought I'd mention the above. I'm sure his cardiologist will provide him with all the information he needs. I guess I thought I should at least meantion what we were told. Glad he is doing well now. Maybe you'll be able to visit him some time soon.

Good to hear that it's not too serious & should be able to be taken care of.

That's encouraging news Arlene. Thanks for letting us know this update. Prayers for a full recovery. Love and blessings Chris

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your son. I am glad that it is not more serious.

Thank you Arlene for the update on Michael. Perhaps he will not need surgery after all. I will keep you all in my thoughts. Hugs Sarah.

So glad there was a doctor able to see he quickly. It's difficult being so far away and not knowing what is happening.
