Aubrey is a thriving 3-year-old little girl now, but she entered this world as a fighter. When her mother and father welcomed her into the world, they quickly learned that little Aubrey was born with Tetralogy of Fallot, a rare, complex heart defect that features four problems in the heart. With Tetralogy of Fallot, not enough blood is able to reach the lungs to get oxygen, and oxygenpoor blood flows to the body. Aubrey’s story is not uncommon, as heart defects are the number one birth defect of babies. 1 in 100 babies will experience a heart defect at birth, just like Aubrey did. Aubrey’s heart condition was not genetic, as her mother struggled to wrap her mind around when hearing doctors explain Aubrey’s condition and the heart journey that was ahead of her. Heather quickly learned that Aubrey would overcome this diagnosis and grow to be a spunky little girl who is full of energy and love. Aubrey has one successful surgery behind her and at least one more in her future. Aubrey embodies the American Heart Association’s mission. Her diagnosis in the past would have been a death sentence. But through research conducted by the American Heart Association, more is known about the condition and how to treat it. Doctors are better prepared to diagnose and operate on Aubrey to change that diagnosis from a death sentence to something the she can triumph. Although the rate of Congenital Heart Defects has not decreased over time, more
