Travis Lee

VSD, ASD, Aortic Valve Stenosis


Travis Lee was a baby born prematurely at 26 weeks, weighing in at 2 pounds 2 ounces with the following heart conditions: VSD, ASD, Aortic Valve, Heart Murmur, and three pin holes in the heart. He Is Now 2-1/2-years old with other medical problems that also followed besides his heart. Like a big curve in his spine which can cause growth and developmental problems. But he still tries to live life to the fullest everyday.

Heart surgery is being set up for next year (in 2006) due to the upcoming holidays if the doctors give the all-clear. Travis' father and I consider Travis Lee our miracle child and a very special gift from God. He has come to be loved by everyone and is a very special little boy to his big sister. Thanks for your time and caring,

— Helena and William, Travis' Mother/Father, and Sister Joy And Husband Ralph (O'brien, Florida)
