A blown out knee and bicuspid aortic valve shut down my son’s plans for joining the military.
My tough-as-nails husband thought I was over-reacting when my son complained of chest pains and I wanted the cardiologist to check him. My son was only 5 at the time and my husband chalked it up to growing pains. My mommy radar told me it was something more serious.
I was right.
We are lucky we detected it early; sadly, lots of parents are not. He will need surgery in his 30s to replace it.
Thumbs up Mom! ;)
