MY DAUGHTER LAURA WAS BORN ON APRIL 4TH, 1984. WHEN SHE WAS ONLY 3 DAYS OLD, WE FOUND OUT SHE HAD A SEVERE HEART PROBLEM. SHE HAD 2 HOLES IN HER HEART AND HER TRICUSPID VALVE WAS CLOSED. LAURA WENT THROUGH 3 OPEN HEART SURGERIES AND ONLY HAS THE 2 . LEFT CHAMBERS OF HER HEART. SHE IS NOW 29 YRS OLD. SHE IS AN INSPIRATION TO OTHERS BECAUSE SHE GOES TO SEVERAL GROUPS WHO ALL HAVE CHILDREN WITH HEART PROBLEMS, AND ARE HAVING OPEN HEART SURGERIES. SHE READS A POEM CALLED "HEAVENS SPECIAL CHILD" AND TELL EVERYONE THAT SHE IS A SURVIVOR.. EVERY YEAR SHE DOES THE HEART WALK FOR THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION. . SHE HAS NOT LET HER HEART PROBLEM SLOW HER DOWN. SHE IS ALWAYS GIVING WITH ALL HER HEART.!
