My youngest son was born with a congenital heart defect called transitional av canal defect. He's had 2 open heart surgeries to repair his defects and he's only 3 years old. My stepd-dad just had aortic valve replacement surgery 10 days ago. Do you know anyone with heart disease? Post about it here.
