Andrew was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot when I was 20 weeks pregnant. He was born 6 weeks premature and endured his first open heart surgery at 6 days old, weighing just under 4lbs. His full repair surgery occurred at 7 months of age. Andrew has had several cardiac catheterization procedures to attempt to widen his narrow pulmonary arteries. He has 3 stents and faces more caths and surgeries in his future. Andrew was also diagnosed with a mild to moderate hearing loss shortly after his birth and wears hearing aids. Andrew is full of spunk and zest for life and I love nothing more than to blog about our family and the adventures of our little monkey.
Here are some updates I've done related to Andrew's heart that will help give you a glimpse into his journey:
