My sister just informed me of some things that might better help clarify John's situation.
1. Jack was born with the murmer, and it never really went away. It was there all along, but babies are antsy little people and it can thus be hard to get a good heart beat with a stethescope.
2. It is Jack's aortic valve that is affected, not the tricuspid. So what he has is called aortic stenosis. A normal aortic valve has 3 slits to allow it to open fully. Jack only has 1 1/2, so the hole is too small.
