If you didn't know Keeten personally you would never know his struggles. "He is not any different than anyone else," says his mom Lacey Holligsworth.

"He is used to a camera, so he is blinking," explains Hollingsworth. "Everyone loves him."
Holligsworth was five months pregnant when she found out that her first child would be born with a heart defect. She says, "It was really scary. I had him at UAMS and just a few minutes after he was born, he was taken by ambulance over here."
