My Illnesses

Open Heart Surgery (1997)-Slight Heart Murmer (current)

–Was born with 2 holes in my heart. One was getting bigger while the other was getting smaller. I had to undergo Open Heart surgery when I was 4 years old to close up the holes. (This surgery is one of the reasons doctors think other medical issues appeared later on in life).

Now, it has been nearly 20 years since I have had the open heart surgery. There is still a slight heart murmur because the valves don’t completely close. However I have had follow ups about every 2-4 years since the surgery and images come out clear and nobody is worried and says it is perfectly fine to live with.
