Life gets in the way and and I might be scatterbrainīut the way you said goodbye the night you left You'd say 'don't leave' and I said 'you either' Participating in American Heart Association functions make me feel like I am giving back to the association and am part of a community.Pick up my keys and I still leave without themīut the way you said my name when we first met The American Heart Association has also helped me see that I can help other kids who are like me and help them feel supported. This group of kids is called the Cardiac Kids. It has shown me that there are other kids just like me who have gone through a similar experience. The American Heart Association has helped me see that I am not alone. I realize I have really good doctors who I trust. I deal with that fear by talking about with my family. I am still a little afraid that someday my heart may stop working. I’m growing really well and I’m already 5’7”. I only have to go to the cardiologist once a year now and do not have to take any medications. I am able to breathe better and be active. My whole class made me get well cards and gave things for me to play with while I recovered. Family, friends, doctors and teachers would visit me. I remember how supportive my community was. I knew what was going to happen and I didn’t think I was going to live through it.Īnd the next thing I remember is when I woke up. I remember when I laid down on the operation table and they gave me the mask to put me to sleep. I knew they were going to cut me open with a knife. I remember when my doctor told me I needed open-heart surgery and I didn’t believe him. I had my third open-heart surgery at 6 years old and I remember everything.

I couldn’t run much and had to sit down a lot when my other friends were playing. I remember what it was like before the surgery. I developed subaortic stenosis again but this time it took years to get bad enough to need surgery again. I think I can remember bits and pieces of my second open-heart surgery when I was 17 months old. Exactly 12 months later I had my second open-heart surgery to clear out the passageway to my aorta from the subaortic stenosis.

The doctors told my mom that they fixed my heart defect but there was a small chance I would develop a complication called subaortic stenosis. I was in the hospital for 8 days afterward. I don’t remember my first open-heart surgery. But I know my mom and I know she never gave up. Also, the medicine I was on sometimes made me sick and I would throw up what I ate. This was hard because eating took a lot of energy and I would fall back to sleep after only a small amount. She said she had a mission to feed me 17 ounces of formula a day. My mom says I was really, really skinny and had failure to thrive. This means my oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood would get all mixed together and my heart had to work really hard to get enough oxygen to the rest of my body. I was born with a heart defect where I had a large hole in my heart and both my main arteries pumped blood from the same chamber. My mom has told me about what I was like when I was born.
