We have a date to 'fix' Tommy's heart, June 13th. Please include Tommy in your prayers for the next seven weeks to stay healthy. I have included information here about his AV Canal defect, the nutritional needs we have struggled with and how the defect will be fixed. Our consult with the cardiac surgical team will be June 8th but from what Colin and I understand so far, this is open heart surgery and Tommy will be on bypass for up to eight hours. Hopefully this information is helpful for your understanding of Tommy's heart mending surgery.
