My heart has a leaking valve

last week I saw a cardiologist because my PCP heard a murmur in my heart. They called with the results friday afternoon and I wasn't home. DH didn't tell me till 5:15pm. They were already closed. I just talked to them and basically they told me so much that half went in one ear and out the other. I did manage to get the part about the Aortic Valve that is leaking. I now must take my BP 3x a day and keep a log. I see the Dr in two weeks to discuss it further and see if I need medication, etc.. I will have to have a stress test in Jan.

Too make matters worse. My 4yo is wheezing today and has a fever. Off to the pediatrician we go.
