2nd heart surgery Support for Jovie Stalvey

UPDATE: Second heart surgery completed and went smoothly. Rest and recovery now until another surgery for her eye coming up. Appreciate all of the support so far! Please share this as you can, it all helps tremendously!!

Hi, thanks for your support. This is for a friends now toddler daughter. Just had her second heart surgery at 18 months old. All donations and help will be going to their family to help with medical costs, travel expenses, missed work, and overall to give them a little assurance they will make it through this without lifelong debt and with a healthy daughter. Here’s her story from her Dad:

Jovie was born with a heart defect called tetralogy of fallot. As parents we were scared to death on what all this would consist of. She was born and was on an oxygen tank 24/7 until they determined a surgery date for her heart. At 3 months old she had open heart surgery as they removed her pulmonary valve and performed structural work to her heart. She came off the oxygen tank and since then she has physical therapy every week and soon will have speech therapy weekly. She had another heart procedure months later where they placed a stent in the right side of her heart and has another procedure coming up July 24th. On August 11th she will have surgery on her right eye as her muscles aren’t strong enough to keep her eye stable from left to right. She is a true blessing to our family and reminds us that no battle is too big no matter how small you are. She is our little fighter and we pray that our little girl will get through all of this and be able to tell/show the world just how strong not only she is, but how big our God is when we all pray and believe. We are thankful for all the love and support, busy most of all we are thankful for all the prayers!
