"Born August 26, 2004 during Metallica’s "Bleeding Me" song to rocker mom and dad, Misse and Bryan. She is the only girl, thought to be a boy and was to be named after Zakk Wylde has four older brothers, Casey Lars, Kyle, Jacob and Jaymz. The oldest and youngest boys named after Metallica members.
Raven’s short life has been tough; she was born with a very large hole in between the right and left pumping chambers of her heart.

Her condition is called Ventricular Septal Defect. Large ventricular septal defects cause problems, as the pressure in the right side of the heart decreases, blood will start to flow to the path of least resistance. This leads to congestive heart failure and must be treated. The most important sign of congestive heart failure is the baby's growth."

"Plans are underway for a benefit concert to raise funds to pay for Raven's surgery and medical treatment. The benefit is scheduled for Thursday, Jan 20th at the Hard Rock Cafe at Beverly Center." (California)
