Alex's Defects

We have been searching for pictures, diagrams, anything to show Alex's defects. Truth is, we can't find any. They don't seem to have a website that has all of his defects in one. Just goes to show you that he really does have a complicated heart (as if you wondered!). This new link that we have put on is the closest thing we can find. It essentially is correct, except doesn't show his tricuspid atresia. So in the pictures where it points to a tricuspid valve, his isn't there. If you follow through the images it will show you how it will be treated. Oh, and for those of you who we haven't told, his next surgery (glenn and damus procedure) is scheduled for November 4th. So, if you don't have anything to be happy about on election day, we do..... one more surgery down!!

I was amazed to day to see how big Alex has gotten, when I stopped by. It always blows me away reading all these things about his heart but looking at him you would never know. We pray for your family often.
