Some words of encouragement for Steven Crowder. A family friend lived 82 1/2 years with the same condition. He had a large hole in his chest, never corrected, and used to allow us children to put our fists into it. His life otherwise was completely normal, although he didn't do all the physical exertion Steven does.

Congratulations on your twins, Steven. What a blessing children are. I pray that you heal soon and are able to enjoy your expanded family for many, many years. We will be watching for your return. We love you!
