Kody's fight against HLHS
Donation protected
Kody was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. He is currently 3 1/2 months old and has under-gone one open heart surgery so far. He is currently in the hospital waiting for his second open heart surgery. After that surgery he will be able to go home for the first time. Kody was given a 25% chance of surviving this next surgery but we are going for it!!! Our other option was to discontinue treatment. We decided that we aren't going down without a fight!!! I am an LPN for NYS and I am out of work on an extended maternity leave because I need to be with kody to make decisions and be his advocate. When Kody was first born he was supposed to have the surgery called the norwood and go home, at which time I was going to return to work until the second surgery. Well because of other major complications with his heart he was only able to tolerate half of the Norwood . This left us stuck in the hospital for 2 extra unplanned months and at least 2 more unplanned months to come. 4 unplanned months out of work has put a huge weight on us financially. We just a little help to get us through his second open heart surgery, then I can go back to work. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and as always pray for kody
