Unbelievable!
I am just learning that the picture we posted of Charlie, a heart valve patient, has gone viral at our Facebook page As you can see below, Charlie’s picture has received over 7,000 Likes, more than 1,100 comments, and 150 timeline shares at Facebook. So you know, Charlie had a successful aortic valve replacement procedure performed by Dr. Douglas Johnston at the Cleveland Clinic.
Our Community Support of Charlie Is Amazing!
As I read through all the wonderful comments posted by former, current and future heart valve patients at Facebook, I was downright amazed.
This community of heart valve patients has rallied around Charlie in such a special and empowering way.
I am so incredibly thankful for this wonderful community of patients, family and friends. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
