Hello everyone!! My name is Matt and my wife found this organization and told me about it so I decided to join. I was recently diagnosed with Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy. From what i've learned I have had it since I was born and it has slowly progressed over the course of my life. I was diagnosed about a week ago and from findings and readings on the internet I now have a pretty good understanding of the disease, its causes, risks, and procedures for curing this disease. The growth on my septum has obstruted the blood flow through my aortic valve. This obstruction has caused some severe leakage in my mitral valve and overall caused my heart muscle to become thickened. I go back to meet with a group of the top Thorasic surgeons at the OU Medical Center here in Oklahoma tomorrow. This is when I will find out if my condition is something they are prepared to deal with or if I must go somewhere like Mayo or Cleveland. Both my wife and I know that God has the ability to heal and that if we put our faith and trust in him then things will ultimatley be okay. Psalms 31:23 states that we are to love the lord and he will preserveth the faithfull. Since neither of us have health insurance this is liable to be a debt we owe for the rest of our lives, but we are ready to do whatever we have to do. I look forward to being a member of this organization and hope i can recieve useful information as well as give it. For those that believe it would be a great blessing to be included in your prayers, and you can be assured you will be included in mine also.
