ERICK :: CONGENITAL HEART DEFECT

Meet Erick!
Baby Erick Jr. was diagnosed with several congenital heart defects 3 weeks after birth. At that time we were told he would need to undergo open heart surgery. He was failing to thrive due to congestive heart failure. He was also diagnosed with Double output of the right ventricle (DORV), Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) and Pulmonary Stenosis. There were no issues during pregnancy and had no idea he was born with a heart condition. He had his open heart surgery on June 16, 2016 at Valley Children’s Hospital in Madera. He was in surgery for a total of 11hrs. He was released from the hospital 6 days after his surgery and is now doing well. While we can’t tell baby Erick’s future, there are no additional surgeries needed at this time but he does continue to have an issue with Pulmonary Stenosis which may require some type of correction in the future. He is now thriving, and doing all the things a 1 1/2 yr. old does! He has given so many of our friends and family strength and enlightenment with his courageous and uplifting soul!
