Cameron's Story...

Shortly after his birth on December 12, 1991, Cameron was diagnosed with Tetrology of Fallot (TOF). He had his first open heart surgery when he was two years old. Complications that followed became serious enough to require another surgery one week later. He gradually regained his strength, recovered from the back-to-back procedures, and  his health improved steadily over the next couple of years. Just before his sixth birthday during a routine check-up, the doctor informed us that it was time to replace Cameron's pulmonary valve. Shortly there after, it was removed and replaced with an artificial valve. By the time he was seven, the valve once again needed to be replaced due to leakage and poor function.
Six years have passed since the second valve replacement surgery was successfully performed and Cameron has outgrown the tiny valve. In order to maintain it's function, his heart is in need of a new valve of larger proportion. Open heart surgery number five has come and gone. Hopefuly we won't need a Open heart surgery number six.
