Mending a broken heart

​​For Leon and Jess Weir, this Valentine's Day will mark an important milestone in the journey to mending Leon's broken heart.
The 35-year-old father of three will undergo an Electrophysiology Study at Sunshine Hospital after suffering three heart attacks in three years.
Leon currently wears a LifeVest – an external defibrillator worn by patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
Wife Jess has also had cardiac problems of her own, undergoing surgery to correct a hole in her heart as a toddler.
"We say two broken hearts make one heart, so that's why we bond so well," Jess told Seven News.
