Zuko was born in December of 2019 with an undiagnosed heart defect. He had a severe coarctation of the aorta that required surgery to repair. Zuko had open heart surgery at just one week old and spent the next two weeks recovering in the hospital. He came home at three weeks old. Zuko had a balloon angioplasty done at around five months, but has been in the clear ever since. He is a thriving, happy little warrior.

Aubrey was born in September of 2020 with an undiagnosed heart defect. She spent the next three months chunking up at home so she could have open heart surgery. In December Aubrey had corrective surgery and was able to go home less than a week later. She has been in the clear and is a happy, bubbly little warrior.
