Jack's Journey: A few Pics

Jack

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.

A few Pics

No more tube or wires!

Jack is so happy to be out of the PICU. He's been asleep since we got to the 3rd floor.

(Check out the cute little toe poking out the blanket. Too cute.)

Is he eating any better?; January 21, 2009 at 6:35 PM

The Hood's said...: Congrats on the move! The third floor is way more quiet than the PICU. And it's so nice to be able to shut the door for some extra peace! He looks great! I am so happy for you guys! Good luck with the feeding. I'm sure once he feels better, he'll start chugging away! Love little baby toes!; January 21, 2009 at 9:34 PM

One Happy Heart Family said...: Aimee, Jack looks so GOOD! Really if you could see Kylie next to him, her belly is so messed up also her line in her wrist is all red and swollen she has big scabs where the chest tubes were. I will post a picture so you can see. He is doing AMAZING!!!! I hope you get home soon. Thanks for talking with me today I really needed to talk with someone who "knows" what we are going through. I will keep you in my prayers.
