A Treasure for Treasure

In the spring Treasure started having symtoms that led to her needing an echocardiogram. The initial results showed she had Pulmonary Hypertension a type of high blood pressure that effects the heart and lungs. There is no "cure" for Pulmonary hypertension, all you can do you find the cause of it and treat that in hopes you'll slow the disease. After many different appointments and tests to try to find out what caused it a CT scan showed a large Atrial Septal Defect, ASD (hole in the upper chambers of the heart) 

ASDs that are not diagnosed until adulthood can damage the heart and lungs, shortening life. Treasure's ASD is considered large at 30mm. The right side of her heart is enlarged due to it "working overtime" Unfortunately due to the size and structure of the hole a simple device closure that can typically be done via catheter is not an option for her. So surgery is needed to close the hole. The recovery time from heart surgery means several weeks out of work. 

My sister Treasure has been my best friend and enemy from day 1 when we met back on March 17th 1989. "Best friend" for examples as letting me tie a rope around her waist and trying to pull her up a tree to get my nerf football out of our grandparents tree, letting me try my WWF wrestling moves on her on a trampoline, giving me a place to stay with her in Hawaii and use her car when I stopped to port when I was in the Marines (Jon was in Iraq slaying terrorists). "Enemy" punching me in the face when she let me blind fold her for a surprise when I actually put her in the center of the water sprinklers and I turned the water on, countless years watching her shoot deers for years and me going home empty handed but told me what I was doing wrong, and finally beating up girls who were no good for me because she knew I would some time in life meet Regina....Best friends or enemies Treasure has always been there for me no matter what it was, so please help me return that love.
