BIRDS CHIRP We're the Katoa twins. We're the Katoa twins. And this started with a sore throat. Yeah, it started with a sore throat, and we just thought that it's gonna go away. This is my boys, Tristan and Justin. When Tristan was rushed to hospital, I felt... scared. They said he had rheumatic fever. I had open-heart surgery. We thought we were gonna lose him. I touched his head, um, then I said to him, 'Oh, have faith. 'Oh, I'm sure that` that we will see each other again.' Sore throats can lead to rheumatic fever and heart damage. If your child has a sore throat, call Healthline on 0800 611 116 for advice.
