Thank you for coming here to support our family through this exciting but challenging period of our lives. As most of you are already aware, Jordan was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. We have set up this site to help keep our family and friends informed through the birth and surgical procedures of Jordan's life.

Out of Surgery
Jordan is out of surgery! They took him back around 7am and Dr. Kirshbom came to talk to us around 2pm. The surgery didn't go as we had hoped - Dr. K said that it was really too soon to open his chest up again. The scar tissue made things a "little sticky" and complicated the surgery. They had to open up his groin just in case they were unable to open the chest. Once they got stent out the valve was tangled and he had to do some additional repairs. He trimmed out the muscle around the shunt in hope to open the area. Dr. K hopes that the repairs will work for the next 2-3 months until we can do the next surgery.
