Presenter/Instructor: Brian Littrell's Healthy Heart Club
...
Julia Lovins endured four open heart surgeries in her 9 years to battle Ivemark syndrome, a rare disorder that affects the internal organs. She was born without a spleen and with severe cardiac disorders.
...
Ivemark is very rare - only one in 10,000 children are born with it.
...
Julia suffered a stroke following the surgery, and was unable to even speak.
...
... last week, she was riding her bicycle and playing like a normal little girl.
...
"The stroke has slowed her down a little bit," Foster said. "But she's really anxious to get back to school."
Julia was the fourth recipient of funding from the Brian Littrell Surgical Assistance Fund.
