Benjamin Martin Allred

My Story

Upon his arrival into this world little baby Ben was happy as could be. His coloring seemed off but being a newborn this didn’t seem too strange. As the staff at Washington Regional checked him out, they heard a “hiccup” while looking at his heart. They decided to take a closer look. Ben was born with a narrowed aorta and a fused valve. He was whisked away to ACH for surgery a few short days after he was born to correct the aorta as well as additional surgeries to fix his fused valve later on. While he’ll still have yearly checkups- we are not planning any additional surgeries at this time!
