My daughter Ava was born with Tetralogy of Fallot in January 2020. She had two open heart surgeries before she was even 5 months old, plus a failed cardiac catheterization to help open her valves.
Today, after just turning 2 years old, you would never know she has congenital heart disease. She’s an active, lively, spunky little girl who I know will never let anything stand in her way. She is a true heart warrior!
