The dr told my dad when he was trying to join the navy that his heart was too small. That is so funny because he has the biggest heart of anyone I know. I just call him"Grinch" (his heart was too sizes too small). Dad later found another dr who said "forget what that dr said - you will likely outlive he & I both"! Which he has. Funny thing, though, Dad had the same prognosis as a child of 5. His mom was told he would not live past his teens.
