Avery's Story

When the Carpenter family welcomed their second daughter everything seemed fine. When a heart murmur was detected at age 2 1/2, their world changed in an instant.

[@allisond.46]

I think “heart murmur” is an understatement. Her heart was barely beating!

[@laureno509]

I have a heart murmur and it kinda means that you have an irregular heart beat, of course there's different kinds of heart murmurs, I have VSD.

[@Apple-xt4vp]

You made me feel proud that my daughter is going to be a surgeon they are amazing I see your love for your daughter it’s powerful you help the doctor heal her heart.

[@cynthiahinde7204]

I like scars because every scar tells a story.

[@GayCorvidae69]

oh you’ll like my body then. It’s covered in scars.

[@ari7961]

My scar is from me banging my head on a coffee table when I was little. Great story

[@pugzlipigeon5906]

I wonder if you’d feel that way if you had deep ones on your face 🙄

[@lileejane1781]

my most noticeable scar tells the story of me, a bed and hair straighteners

[@heidi8648]

I have a scar on my nee cap because when I was riding my little scooter around my neighborhood when I was little and it hit a rock causing me to fly of my scooter and hit the road and busting my nee

God bless Avery and her sweet wholesome heart. This is remarkable and had me speechless for such great feats to be achieved by her. Thank you for sharing her wonderful video and story of her!

[@deevacookseycooksey9662]

I also had a heart murmur, but the doctor fixed it. My condition was detected when I was 13, but now I'm 14 and I'm happy and healthy.

Good on you! Are used to be a area list/trapeze artist I did so being legally blind. But then got really badly injured to the point where I now need a wheelchair - ironically not as a result of my work but of an epileptic seizure that I had whilst studying. But what I didn’t want to say was I was on the trapeze when I was legally blind so you can certainly dance and dance for the world and dance your heart out - with a heart problem. (I didn’t realise the pun onwards until I finish the sentence but I thought you look like you have a good sense of humour like me so you would get a laugh out of it - plus it’s what I wanted to say). Best of luck sweetie - you go and dance the world away :-)🧚🏻‍♀️🌈🦋⭐️☀️❤️✌️🇦🇺

I am 29 with a CHD known as TOF/APV. I am doing a lot better now because of my team finding the right combination of medications to help my heart along with the two open heart surgeries I have had. I receive care at the Johns Hopkins Congenital Heart Center.

I was born with a heart mumor. Still have it too. I'm 25 now. It's hereditary, but thankfully my son doesn't have a heart mumor. He's 3 months old now. My heart from what I know skips every other beat, and will continue to do so.

[@ambertheangel31]

I have a heart mumor it sucks some times but it's something I can live with I dignoised at age 7 I think

[@adamwest4629]

Wow what a fighter !! Great family ...great people ...great life going on !!!!!

I have pseudo obstruction motility disorder and antral hypomotility disorder, they’re both rare life threatening digestive system disorders. I’ve had multiple surgeries because I was in hospital for 4 months once and I fully obstructed more than 11 times

[@bartman9400]

Wow that’s one very lucky girl

[@dinosaurenthusiast3463]

lots of comments saying she's lucky, she was born on saint patrick's day and even her mom said you can't get a luckier birthday than that, she's not wrong lol her heart was just twitching and she probably shouldn't have been alive but she was, the heart surgery went better than expected and now she's still alive and she's happy so i think that she's super lucky but so are her parents because their daughter is still here

I have scars from self harm

[@juliavanrun-kilic1744]

Emma Edelmann dear Emma. Know that you’re loved more then you know!! I hope you will find someone that can help you and support you. To self harm, means you’re living with difficult stuff. Please find yourself someone to help you. I send you much much love from Switzerland.

[@emmaedelmann220]

Julia van Run-Kilic thank you

[@juliavanrun-kilic1744]

Emma Edelmann 💝🤗 you are and have the present to give this world that is unique only to you. Nobody else has got this, coz you are unique! And the world needs you! Your greatest presents tend to be hiding behind our ‚difficult stuff‘. To go beyond, it can be important to let yourself ask for help if you need to. Because: if you received a beautiful present, would you cut it up? No! You would treasure it! Even if you might feel like it might not be true.....question your own thoughts, cause they tend to echo what others have told you into the past. And in the end.....it was THEIR (hurtful) opinion. And not the truth of who you really are. Check out Candace van Dell, Bruce Lipton, or find your own people that can help you find your way back to yourself and out of self-hurt. Love you!🥰🤗🙏🏻💫
