Clesi Rose is a sweet little girl with a big heart.  Literally, her heart is larger than other babies her size.  After Clesi was born, she did not gain weight well and had a paralyzed vocal cord.  The doctors call this "failure to thrive."  We were unsure of the reasons behind it, so we visited many doctors and performed many tests.  Finally, after 5weeks, we checked her into Texas Children's Hospital for a feeding tube.  They attended to the usual routine and after 3 hours noticed her enlarged heart on a chest x-ray.  She was diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease or more specifically coarctation of the aorta, 3 holes, and 2 mitral-valve problems.  The probability of any one child having this many congenital heart defects are 1 in 100,000.  The doctors prepared us for open heart surgery and then at the last minute switched to only repair the coarctation; a true miracle as we were all very nervous to have our new baby under a bypass machine.  After a successful surgery we have been watching Clesi grow to become a very active and happy baby.  Her voice is back but she will require at least one more surgery to correct her valve and repair one hole.  We thank God every day for the support of our family, friends and doctors who prayed and cared for us during this time.
