Jessica Wright took to social media with the heartbreaking news that her two-year-old son, Presley, has been diagnosed with an ultra-rare heart condition. Taking to her Instagram account, the mother-of-one penned a lengthy statement on Bank Holiday Monday, explaining that her son has been diagnosed with a congenital heart disease called "bicuspid aortic valve", which will require him to undergo open-heart surgery at least twice in his life. "Hey everyone [white love heart emoji], I have been apprehensive & nervous about writing this post because I knew that once I shared it, it would become even more real.
But ultimately, I couldn’t hide from the reality anymore, and I would love to also raise awareness," she began. The former TOWIE star explained: "A few months ago, we learned that our son Presley has a congenital heart disease called bicuspid aortic valve, something he was born with that affects only a small 1% of us. Essentially, instead of having three leaflets in his aortic valve like most people, he only has two.
"This condition affects how blood flows from the heart to the rest of the body and will require monitoring and care over time. I won’t go into full details right now, but while this is, please God, not a fatal disease, we are coming to terms with the fact that our son will need intervention at least twice in his life. By intervention, I mean open-heart surgery.
" Jess added that admitting it out loud "physically hurts" her soul and explained that Presley wil.
