Dad past away unexpectedly at age 40, I was 13! I was diagnosed in 99' went to NIH to be part of a study for HCM. In 04' defibrillator/pacemaker placed, high risk for Sudden Death. In 09' had Apical Myectomy at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. I had Sudden Cardiac Arrest Sept 21st 2014 Defibrillator failed to work, luckily my son & husband were home and performed CPR for half an hour then EMTS took over put in Hypertrophic Coma for couple days, not really expected to wake up, but I did and am just a bit dingyier then I was before but family is just thankful I'm still here! God is Good, Always!!
