Hi Everyone,
After visits with Michael's cardiologist and surgeon, they've determined Michael's next surgery, the Fontan, will be on September 7th (with his pre-op appointment will be on September 1).
Michael is doing well and you would never guess someone with his dance moves, ability to chase his sister, and sense of humor would have any health issues! But this third surgery, which is part of the Norwood treatment, will help to make sure that Michael's heart is stronger.
In the Fontan procedure, the remaining blood vessels carrying blood from the body are connected to the blood vessels carrying blood to the lungs. This surgery allows the rest of the blood coming back from the body to go to the lungs. The blood with oxygen and the blood without oxygen no longer mix in the heart and with more oxygen-rich blood going to the body, Michael will have even MORE energy to dance!
As always, the love, support, thoughts, and prayers of everyone are appreciated!
Much love.
