SHAUNIE O'NEAL'S ANGUISH

Not long ago, Shaunie and Shaquille lived through every parent's worse nightmare. Their son Shareef was diagnosed with a heart problem and had to undergo open-heart surgery on December 13, 2018.

Shareef was suffering from Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the most common identifiable cause of sudden death in athletes.

A MOTHER'S WORSE NIGHTMARE

For Shaunie, it was a terrible shock. Her athletic son had always been the picture of health, but when he complained about "feeling funny" after basketball practice, Shaunie insisted he see a doctor.

SHAUNIE O'NEAL'S INSISTENCE SAVED HER SON'S LIFE

The doctors at UCLA where Shareef plays college basketball subjected the young athlete to a battery of tests and delivered a frightening diagnosis.

Shareef was suffering from Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the most common identifiable cause of sudden death in athletes.

“This morning was by far my toughest moment being a Mom. If only I could take his place today. Could I at least go with him in that operating room and hold his hand. Separating from him as he was wheeled off to surgery was heartbreaking," Shaunie confessed.

Shareef came through the surgery with flying colors and has been cleared by doctors to play for UCLA next season.
