Gavin was born with a heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot. This diagnosis was made while Gavin’s mom was 4 months pregnant. He was born on January 21, 2013 and spent 10 days in the NICU at Valley Children’s hospital. After 14 days of being home he went back to the hospital for his open heart surgery. He spent over a month recovering. He is monitored by a cardiology team and has echocardiograms every six months. He will have another open heart surgery when he is a teen and another as an adult.
Gavin’s is a heart warrior! He loves to explore and be with his mommy and daddy, and as you can plainly see Gavin is absolutely adored by his parents.
