My daughter received the Dx of HLHS while still in utero. I can't describe the pain and agony that I and my wife passed through. However, After reviewing and watching these videos, we feel motivated and passionate about the future of my fist baby. You give me an inspiration that this condition can be dealt with. Be safe and wish you a happy life.

Dr. Spray performed all three surgeries on my daughter. She is now a vibrant 13 year old with no leakages or arrhythmia's. She takes no medication and is under no restrictions. She knows when she is tired and stops for a while. These children are amazing. Thank you so much to the wonderful doctors and nurses at CHOP for their expertise and support.
