Jackson was born August 2008 with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), a rare congenital heart defect affecting the left ventrical and aorta. Three days after he was born he had the first of three open heart surgeries at Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake City, UT. In January 2009 he had his 2nd surgery, the Glenn, and in May 2012 he had his third open heart surgery, the Fontan. He is currently doing great and you would hardly know he's anything but perfectly healthy. He's sweet, cute, and as wonderful as they come and such a joy in our lives.
Some baseball players from the Bees came by to visit Jack today and gave him a signed baseball. The coach worked for a few years with the Red Sox so Hardy enjoyed chatting with him for a bit.
Wow! What a two weeks it has been. I am glad that Jack is doing so well; however, we will keep him in our prayers that he will learn to feed and get to go home soon.
