Second opinion and a second chance for Bentley
Donation protected
As most of you know, my son Bentley has gone through so much in his 8 years of life. He's had 3 open heart surgeries, over a dozen heart caths done, and received 2 different types of pacemakers which he recently had surgery for in December. I started this gofundme account to hopefully get some help with traveling to Bostons hospital since they are ranked one of the best for cardiac. Bentley was born with Hypoplastic right heart syndrome plus 6 other heart defects. His hospital has done everything they're capable of doing to make him live a normal life but i know that with a second opinion there's a possibility that other doctors could have a different approach to his condition and hopefully give him a longer life span and even give him a chance of living a normal or at least somewhat normal life. With having a compromised immune system Bentley is frequently in and out of the hospital multiple times a month, whether it's for his heart or a minor cold which isnt so minor for him. Bentley has missed so much school due to his condition and feels he is being treated differently by other students and just wants to be like everyone else. Here is a link to the surgery that he could qualify for to give him a shot at a more normal life. http://www.childrenshospital.org/centers-and-services/programs/a-_-e/complex-biventricular-repair-program
