LIFE AS A CARDIAC PATIENT

• Craig has been a cardiac patient since birth.
  • He had congenital heart issues.
    • Born with a whole in his heart, at age 3 he had surgery to fix this.
      • This then caused him more issues.
      • Since 7, he has required pacemakers which have required surgeries throughout his life.
• He didn’t want to go to Vinnie for medical advice — but he realized to improve his health through his diet, Vinnie could help.
• Now, Craig is writing a book.
  • It’s a journal to his daughters.
  • Craig had to take a leap of faith to have children because he feared his children would have the same issue.
• In 2013, he became unresponsive. His daughters couldn’t wake him.
  • As a result, his kids are pretty mature — they grew up with a fragile dad.
• Craig and his daughters create memories and value the time they have together.
  • Craig is doing well but living with heart issues is, of course, scary.

TAKING CARE OF WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL
