I get the feeling that my past brother, died at the age of 3, was due to this particular defection. Not to mention countless of other problems during that period.

All I know was that due to a hole in his heart, something went terribly wrong with him and he was gone, soon after.

After reading this, supposedly humorous article, I realised one thing. No matter what people say, Cracked.com educates as much as it cracks people up. Unbelievable.

Ventricular Septal Defect

It occurs in most infants. Despite the diameter of the hole itself, you should always take precaution and should be closely monitored. However, it may close on its own with the aid of medications. If the hole is big, it may require surgery.

The surgery is always a success. At the rate of 94%+, most infants get to live till today. Perhaps you, reader, are of the majority. My brother, however, fell into the minority category.

He went through with the surgery yet it did not save him. Perhaps it was a late call. It was too much of a post to save him. His lungs, perhaps, have too much blood in it.

To all parents, I encourage you to read about this defection and look upon it. I don't want to startle anyone but better be safe than sorry. :)!

I hate him for leaving me but I love him still. I am glad he isn't suffering like I am. I wouldn't wish it on him because he is my lover for life. I mean, my BROTHER!! Heh heh! Laters Claisavard!
