It really, truly is a small world after all!! The host of The Light of Life, Naomi, has Ebstein's Anomaly. She's always been too afraid to talk about it because she didn't know anyone else who had it. This is completely changing today. Kimmie also has Ebstein's Anomaly. Naomi and Kimmie born with Ebstein's Anomaly. Identical. Naomi and Kimmie's tricuspid valve replaced at 14 years old. Identical. Naomi and Kimmie have met 1,000+ CHD patients but never another Ebstein's Anomaly patient. Identical. Naomi and Kimmie's cardiologists have said to both of them they are the only Ebstein's Anomaly case the cardiologists know of. Identical. Surgeons have told both of them they can't do anything else to help them but are able to do something a decade later. Identical. Doctors have told both of them they have defied the science of cardiology. Identical. Kimmie has gone through the exact same circumstances as Naomi living with Ebstein's Anomaly. Kimmie and Naomi both emphasize they believe the reason it's called an anomaly is simply because this heart condition is an anomaly. It is unheard of, exceedingly rare, and lethal. The amount of babies who are born with Ebstein's Anomaly is a greater number than the amount of patients who survive to adulthood.
