Ashley Hoenstine is truly a miracle baby. This story is about my older sister who has been suffering from multiple muscular VSD’s since the day she was born. I chose to write about my sister because I thought her story should be heard. In this article I will tell you about her health problems, her hobbies, things she does on a daily bases, and our relationship as brother and sister.
About her health problems: when my sister was born doctors saw no problems health wise but what they did not know is that she had two muscular VSD’s in her heart. She went home but two months later she was rushed to Tampa General Hospital to have open heart surgery. They had to put a pulmonary band on her pulmonary artery to slow down the blood flow to her heart until she was strong enough to patch it up. At the age of one she once again had open heart surgery to patch them up. The VSD’s she was born with still effect her daily life like she cannot have things that have caffeine in it, she can’t lift weights, and etc. She also has to get a heart monitor to see how she’s doing every six months. About three years ago my sister was thirteen years old and had serious migraines constantly everyday so she had to go see someone about this two times a week for a whole year to get them to go away and luckily it worked.
My sister attends Boone High the home of the Braves. Part of her hobbies include dancing. She is a Bravett, a name for a dancer on the team. They do a show every halftime and before the game. She also dances in several classes like ballet, hip hop, and many others. She has a recital every year at Bob Car theater. She also participates in runs and all kinds of things to help raise money and to show that she cares for the kids who are sick all across the world.
