Lovely Lily is an 8-month old Heart Hero from Conroe, Texas. She was born with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD).  Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart defect in which the aorta is enlarged and comes from the left and right ventricles (overriding aorta), narrowing of the pulmonary valve (pulmonary stenosis), thickening of the muscular walls of the right ventricle (right ventricular hypertrophy), and a hole between the right and left ventricles (VSD).  Lily underwent a successful open-heart surgery on October 1, 2014 for a full TOF repair.

Lily has taught her parents and family to cherish every moment. Having a Heart Hero in their lives has further solidified their faith. The Heart Hero Cape represents their journey, although it’s never-ending, they know they will persevere and never lose hope.

Lily’s resilience has helped her to overcome her CHD. “Lily has shown more bravery, strength, and courage than anyone we know.” Once Lily’s heartiversary comes around, the family plans celebrating by donating to CHD research.
