Update: Little Aiden is home and doing fabulous! His mother is thrilled that he is walking for blocks without problem.
I'd like to request positive thoughts, energy, and/or prayers for a little 3-year-old boy named Aiden and his family, who reside in Wisconsin. He will be having open-heart surgery today at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin for Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome. His surgeon is the supreme Dr. James Tweddell. This surgery is quite scary as he will be on heart bypass (his heart will be stopped). The picture at left visual shows the problem little Aiden has with his heart.
Our little Aidan, who is also 3, had this exact surgery for the same problem right before his 3rd birthday last May. He did wonderfully and is doing great now. However, I can empathize greatly with the anxiety, fear, and loathing his parents must be feeling right now.
Anyway, if you can just say a quick prayer right now or think healing thoughts if for a moment, I know it will help him and his family.
Hello! I just found your blog from a comment over at Heather's blog. I know his surgery is done by now, but I'll still be keeping him in my thoughts for a speedy recovery. My one year old has coarctation of the aorta and will be facing surgery someday as well, so I'm all about supporting our little heart kids however I can!
