Jess Wright, known for her stint on the popular reality show The Only Way is Essex, recently shared some concerning news about her son. She revealed that her two-year-old, Presley, has been diagnosed with a rare congenital heart disease and will have to undergo open-heart surgery. As any parent would, Jess and her husband William Lee Kemp are understandably worried about their child's health.
Jess and William welcomed Presley into the world in May 2022, but now their focus has shifted to his upcoming surgery. In an emotional Instagram post, Jess shared a photo of her family and explained the situation. She admitted that she was apprehensive to share the news, but ultimately wanted to raise awareness about this condition.
Their son has a congenital heart disease called Bicuspid Aortic Valve, which affects the flow of blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Although not fatal, it does require monitoring and potentially multiple surgeries in Presley's life. Jess and William have been coping with this news for a few months and have been closely monitoring Presley's heart with doctors every 8-12 weeks. They are hoping for the best results and for Presley to be as old as possible before he needs intervention.
Jess also explained that Presley is a strong and resilient child and with the help of modern medicine, he will be able to live a normal life. She also mentioned that sharing her story on this platform would not only help her but also other parents who may be facing similar situations. She asked for their support and knowledge as they navigate this unknown and scary territory.
Bicuspid Aortic Valve is a rare condition where the aortic valve in the heart only has two leaflets instead of the normal three. It is present from birth and can occur with other heart defects. Symptoms may include fatigue, chest pain, dizziness, and heart palpitations. While medications can help with symptoms, surgery is often necessary.
Jess expressed her gratitude towards her family, friends, and followers for their love and support. She also encouraged everyone to raise awareness about heart health and announced that she would be speaking to the Brompton Fountain children's charity to help with their fundraising efforts.
The post was met with an outpouring of love and support from Jess's fellow Towie stars and fans. Jess has previously shared updates on Presley's health and last year, he was taken to the hospital after struggling with health problems. Fortunately, he recovered after a round of antibiotics.
Jess appeared on The Only Way is Essex from 2010 until 2016 and the show is now available for streaming on ITVX. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, you can get in touch with The Agency entertainment team through their website. They would love to hear from you.
