On June 8th our baby was born with a condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) which means that the left side of his heart didn’t develop. When he was only four days old he underwent his first of three open heart surgeries. This first surgery is the most serious of the three since he’s a newborn baby so we’ll be in the hospital for hopefully only a month. The second surgery happens in just a few short months after this surgery. The third and hopefully final surgery happens around 3 years old. There is also a chance he will need a heart transplant later too. This is a condition that he will be dealing with for the rest of his life, there is no real fix or cure even with the surgeries.
I hateeee to do this and ask for help but obviously this is more than needed right now. Any help to help keep our heads above water is more than appreciated.
