My name is August! I was born with congenital heart disease and experienced heart failure at 8 weeks old. While waiting for open-heart surgery, I had a sepsis infection and a few seizures, causing me to have mild cerebral palsy which affects my left leg. I had open heart surgery at 12 weeks old and have had 7 CATH procedures since. I will continue to be monitored by specialists and have more CATH procedures to improve blood flow as I grow. I am just as active as anyone else my age! I love fishing and my dog, Richard! In honor of my cousin, who passed away before I was born, my butterfly is yellow which was her favorite color. This color reminds my family of her and the red hearts are for heart disease awareness.
