This worst of all scares me:

Berry aneurysm: Prolonged high blood pressure may also cause arteries in the brain to become weak, enlarged, and rupture. Such a rupture causes bleeding in the brain and is life-threatening.


BTW-I got the diagram off the web and I think Coarctation is misspelled. I may be wrong.

Baby,
I am glad you found some info on your condition. Don't be scared, be knowledgable. Arm yourself with information and quell the fear that you may have to overcome to face whatever situation confronting you. I love you so much. Mom
