It’s fair to say that 27-year-old Jesse has spent more time thinking about his health than others his age. Born with a congenital heart condition called Truncus Arteriosus, Jesse has had multiple open-heart surgeries, the first when he was just days old. ❤️🩹
Last year, Jesse returned to the hospital and spent three months at TPCH, suffering from Endocarditis, a potentially life-threatening inflammation of the heart’s inner lining caused by infection.
“My symptoms came on more or less overnight, to the point where I could hardly walk without feeling faint and was experiencing extreme fevers and sweats,” Jesse said.
“Fortunately, I got treatment and antibiotics before bacteria from the heart infection reached my bloodstream and led to sepsis.”
Jesse is now well and enjoying life, including pursuing a career as a hospital social worker, thanks to the care he received at Queensland's specialist heart and lung hospital.
If you wish to support research to help patients like Jesse, consider donating to The Common Good Au on their Giving Day tomorrow, where your donation will be doubled.
