As I typed the title I stopped for a bit since my 28 year heart saga came rolling back to me in ebbs and tides. It is overwhelming to me and so emotional. I do have only one regret. I had my first OHS at the age of 29 so my children were young. Going on to having 4 heart and one lung surgery I do regret the fierceness of protection I placed on my children so not to worry them. They are grown. amazing women and mothers now and I still smile and gloss over how I am doing. I feel I have not shared with them the most difficult part of my life. I will now be much more honest with them and let them now worry and let them begin to take more care of me. They deserve that.
Time for cake

And so do YOU!! Congratulations on the 28 years and best wishes for many more to enjoy your children and grandchildren.
 
Happy Birthday twice over. Congratulations on this milestone and on your decision to share your good times and bad times with your family - a certain win all around.
 
Congrats, Kathleen! You've given me something to think about. I'm never quite sure how much to tell my kids and how "strong" to appear. It's a tough call. But you're right, they can't support you when they don't know you need it. I wish you the best!
 
Kathleen,
It's quite an honor to be able to wish your "twins" a Happy 22nd valversary!:)

And regarding children, I've started emailing my boys the pertinent information and then they can decide when and how to deal with it. I think it's easier on them, and me too.
Of course, my daughter hears things the old fashioned way . . . I tell her!:p
 
Happy Anniversary, Kathleen. You have been through so much! I wish you many more anniversaries!

PS I think we always second guess ourselves where our kids are concerned. My husband and I have been thinking we shared too much with our 11 and 13 year olds about my health. They both started worrying about their own hearts so we had echos done to ease their and our fears.
