Ventricular Septal Defect
Nora Love was only weeks old when she was diagnosed with a ventricular septal defect – a hole in the wall between the right and left ventricles of the heart. The diagnosis stunned her parents, Jared and Jeanne Anne, and Jeanne Anne couldn’t help but think about her own medical journey as she prayed for Nora’s successful open heart surgery at Children’s of Alabama.
Transposition of the Great Arteries
Seven-month-old Steven Johnson loves to smile, laugh and babble the day away. “He’s really a very happy child,” says his mother, Cyntia Ramsey. “He’s so happy, even with all he’s been through.” Steven has been through quite a lot in his short life. When he was born, testing revealed a serious but rare congenital heart defect – transposition of the great arteries. Steven was transferred to Children’s of Alabama the very next day.
