My DS (who is almost 3) has BAV too. His was dx'd incidently while they were examining another heart defect of his. As Carrie said, its my understanding that *most* people don't know they have it until they get much older and it has weakened. They are going to keep a watchful eye on DS (yearly echos) but unless an issue arises he has no restrictions based on the BAV itself. PM me if you want to chat, I'd be happy to help if I can!
