TikTok star's 4-month-old son to undergo heart surgery soon

Elyse Myers Influencer and comedian

TikTok sensation Elyse Myers recently shared some challenging news about her family. In a heartfelt video posted on TikTok and Instagram, Myers revealed that her 4-month-old son, Oliver, will soon undergo heart surgery. What started as a routine checkup revealed a more serious condition when a murmur was detected.

During Oliver's 4-month checkup, the doctor found a slight heart murmur. While it was initially believed to be harmless and something he would outgrow, the healthcare professional recommended an echocardiogram to confirm the diagnosis. Myers took her son for the follow-up appointment, and to their surprise, they discovered a significant hole in Oliver's heart, specifically located between the bottom two chambers.

The couple had no prior knowledge that their precious baby, Oliver, was born with a ventricular septal defect (VSD). Upon receiving this shocking news, they quickly sprung into action. The medical team requested that Oliver undergo a heart catheter procedure to obtain a thorough assessment of his condition.

Thankfully, the catheter procedure, though extensive, was completed in a single day. However, it was determined that Oliver will need heart surgery in the coming weeks. Myers remains optimistic as doctors are confident that after the surgery, Oliver will make a full recovery and continue to grow and develop normally. They reassured Myers and her husband that this condition should not have any long-term effects on Oliver's life.

Within just a week, the Myers family has been thrust into this unexpected journey. Despite the challenges they face, Elyse and her husband, Jonas, are united and supporting each other through this difficult time. They have been diligently gathering information and have now decided to update their followers only when there are significant developments.

Elyse Myers wanted to take a moment to express her gratitude to her devoted fans and assure them that she will continue sharing updates when necessary. She wants them to know that everything will be okay. With strength and love, they are confident that Oliver will come out of this stronger than ever before.

Elyse and Jonas are also the proud parents of August, their 3-year-old son. As they navigate this new territory, they are taking all the necessary steps to ensure a positive outcome for Oliver's health.

Let us keep this inspiring family in our thoughts and send them positive energy as they prepare for Oliver's upcoming heart surgery. Together, with the support of their loved ones and followers, they will conquer this challenge and emerge even stronger.
