When my twin daughters were born 32 weeks early in April 2018, we were told that one of them would have to undergo open-heart surgery to repair a VSD (hole between lower chambers) as well as to repair a vascular ring that was making her unable to eat properly.

 

At 16 weeks old, Miss Carrie had her surgery at St. Louis Children's Hospital where thanks to ongoing research and the steady hands of her surgeon, the surgery was a great success. 

 

She is now 7-years-old and full of life and energy! You'd never know this was something she underwent at such an young age.
