Little Isaac

December 2011

Welcome to our blog. This is our attempt to keep everybody informed of Isaac and his progress. In December 2011, we met with Dr. McCandless at Primary Children's Hospital. We were informed he had a heart defect called Truncus Arteriosis. In short, his two main arteries never separated and remained one big "trunk". He will have to have open-heart surgery within a week of his birth and addition surgeries throughout his life to replace the synthetic artery he will have. Lisa will be delivering at the University Hospital and Isaac will then be taken to the Cardio ICU at Primary's within a couple hours after birth. Isaac is expected to be in the hospital 3-4 weeks until he makes it home with us. Lisa is due March 13th, so it is only a few short weeks until we will have Isaac here with us.
As we learn more and progress to birth and beyond, we will share his experiences, good and bad, with you. We are so thankful for all the thoughts and prayers we have received and for the love that has been shown to us as a family. Heavenly Father has certainly wrapped his arms around us as we begin this unexpected journey.
