My name is Debbie and my son, Jayden, was born on June 17, 2011 with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and ventral septal defect.  He has had one surgery about 1 month after he was born and had complications.  He began to heal and got really sick again about 1 month ago.  He just had the last surgery on October 26.  It lasted 15 hours.  But he is doing extremely well.  He has amazed the doctors with how far he has come in such a short time.

 

I am hoping he can come home for the first time by Christmas!

Thanks, The Lobos.  He seems to do so well, then it's like he takes 2 steps back.  It gets discouraging sometimes.  I'm trying to stay strong for him, but it's tough.
