Inspiring Women: My Mom's Open Heart Surgery Story

Deb Morgan

Hey Fam! We are back with Season 2 of The Ryan Leckey Show!

Take a guess on who my first guest is… it's my mom!

Just a few months ago, my mom, Deb, experienced a life-changing event—a health scare that ultimately saved her life. It’s a journey that began years ago while she was being monitored for an enlarged aorta.

Then later, after testing showed her aortic aneurysm grew in size and would need open heart surgery to repair, another bomb dropped: she learned she had triple artery disease.

Now, while facing such a daunting challenge that would leave many feeling overwhelmed, my mom's resilience and positivity shone through, inspiring not only me, but our entire family and countless others.

We delve into Deb's journey—how she faced the uncertainty of surgery with unwavering determination, how she prepared mentally and physically, and the incredible strength she found within herself during recovery.

Her story is a testament to the power of the human spirit and the importance of early detection and proactive healthcare.

We also discuss the incredible support system surrounding her, the role of medical professionals in her care, and the newfound appreciation for the life she's cultivated through this experience.

It's a story of resilience, hope, and the power of love. So, make sure to tune in to this episode as we celebrate my amazing mother, Deb Morgan, as our first guest of Season 2, and be prepared to be uplifted by her indomitable spirit.
