Meet Adelynn, age 6. " I was born with an atrial septal defect (ASD). A cardiologist fixed my heart using cardiac catheterization.  I 
have some restrictions, but not many and very soon I will be able to do all activities again.  Now my heart is working normally 
and I can live a long healthy life.  I hope to be either a nurse 
or a doctor."
