"Nicole was never diagnosed with anything as a child. She always looked fine, ever since she was a kid. She was seven years old when she had her first surgery.

"She was running at school and she passed out and fell right on her face and she was out. A doctor at the Children's Hospital here thought that it was just weird for a little kid to do that, so he sent her to UCLA to have some scientific tests done, pretty much to see what the heart was doing. Well, they didn't get that far. They did an angiogram and saw that she was missing her left coronary artery. For seven years the left side of heart hadn't been getting any blood to it at all. I've got pictures, it's really amazing. }}}
