Hi Ree –

I was also diagnosed with a heart murmur when I was 7. The docs told my parents I was showing symptoms of rheumatic fever. My tonsils and adenoids were removed–which was common practice in 1957. They were reportedly double the normal size.

I have also fairly recently been diagnosed with MVP (Mitral Valve Prolapse). I also wonder whether they’re related, or basically the same thing. Hmmm.

Hugs,
Chris
