Sofi has a condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome...Which basically means is that the left side of her heart is under developed. Shortly after birth she underwent open heart surgery...the procedure is called Norwood Procedure. More than 25% of all babies who have this surgery, go to heaven...but she hung on. A few months later she had another surgery caled Hemi-Fontan Operation. The doctors say that her heart will only last about 6 months to a year...She is in need of a transplant... 30% of babies on transplant list go to heaven while waiting. Please include Sofi in your prayers....click on her picture to visit Sofi and her sweet family
In the womb, he was diagnosed with heart failure: premature atrial contractions at 20 weeks; supraventricular tachycardia, hydrops, and intermittent advanced secondary heart block at 23 weeks; and enlargement of the heart at 32 weeks. When the doctors told them at 24 weeks that their very ill baby would surely die, they chose to give Stellan completely to God, for He alone knows best.
Stellans Story
Sofi's new heart is in, and it is beating, strong! She is ICU right now and so far so good. Thank you so much to anyone and everyone who has prayed for this precious baby. This could not have come at a better time...shortly after they opened her chest...her own heart gave out..stopped beating!She is not out of the woods yet...and there are things that could go wrong (but we're not going to think that way)...your continued prayers are appreciated! Also...if you could find it in your heart to stop by and visited her blog and leave a message of encouragement...that would be so great. I know her family would be so grateful to know that you are thinking of their little girl.
