Jack's Journey: Still Smilin'

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.

Still Smilin'

Jack's still doing great today. We're just trying to get our fill of loves and snuggles before they take him away tomorrow morning.

Please keep him in your prayers and we'll keep the blog updated as the day goes on. His surgery is scheduled to begin at 7:30 a.m.
