Please, please check out this site: www.valvereplacement.com.  It is filled with excellent information that deals primarily with heart valves.  I was so relieved when the site was recommended to me by another patient.  Check it out & good luck to both of you!  God Bless!

I just learned today that all 4 of my heart valves are leaking also. I am a 31 year old mother of 4, I understand how you feel. I will be praying for your daughter.
