So now the sad part...when I was 18 months old, I needed my first open heart surgery to repair my heart because my heart wasn't growing how it should and my heart was bigger then it needed to be for the size of my body and the time. When I was then done with the surgery, the doctors told my parents that I shouldn't need another open heart surgery for at least 2 years. They were wrong, I only lasted 5 days and then I needed another one. So I had another surgery. This is skipping ahead but, I then had my 3rd open heart surgery in 2010 with a few complications including: Vasculitus in my lungs, trouble getting off the breathing tube, having a feeding tube, and just my general breathing. (I have a new surgery every time my heart/body grows because I have something in me that doesn't grow with my heart so the surgery is just to make it bigger).
And now most recently I had a 4th open heart surgery in 2015. (I will explain more about that in an upcoming part).
