....but I thought I'd stop by and share. I've shared this on Facebook where a lot of us have moved to - but for those that haven't, please please please continue reading....

I've made some friends from this board that have CHD's (congestive heart disease) themselves or children with CHD's. My 15 year old son is a heart warrior (3 open heart surgeries) and is currently hospitalized with some complications....please take a moment to read/and or share/donate ❤️❤️ Thanks All!

***My son is out of the hospital, on lots of new meds and a very strict diet. Max will have to return weekly (if not more) to Children's Hospital Los Angeles for Infusions of Albumin. This will be a 5 - 6 hour process for every infusion. He'll have an IV inserted at each visit. My heart breaks just thinking about this "New Normal" for my son but I'm so so thankful there is a treatment for his diagnosis.
If anyone is interested in reading up on my son's illness, it is called "Protein Losing Enteropathy - Post Fontan".
Please share the link below and help me keep this post at the top of the forum. Can't thank you all enough!

****On Monday August 3rd, cardiac surgeons placed a stent in my sons aorta. He is still at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. He was almost out the door headed home yesterday but kept complaining of chest pain. Docs decided to do one more chest X-ray - and they saw huge pocket of fluid surrounding his left lung. Put him back in bed and started a new iv to get meds pushed to pull the fluid off his lung. He's resting comfortably now and hoping this mornings chest X-Ray will show improvement and I can take him home today....thanks for all the thoughts and prayers everyone, I truly believe it all helps!

    Sounds like we need another fund raising raffle. I'm crap at these things but we will get it sorted. Much love to both you and your son.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Thanks for the bump! I've been trying to get on here to update....
    Max at back at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. His Cardiac Surgeons placed a stent in his aorta yesterday. He's recovering now, been kind of painful for him (I'm an emotional wreck but trying to be strong for him). He is one amazing kid. Thanks for all the love, thoughts, vibes and prayers...❤️❤️❤️ I'll try to post a pic later when I can actually get on a computer, not my phone

    Hi PJ_ROCKS!!! So nice to hear from you. Things are currently being managed pretty well for Max's medical care. Max hasn't had to be re-admiited but we do spend a full day in/at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles every 2 weeks. He has to be infused with an element in his blood that his intestine is destroying. He has been responding very well to the infusions tho so that's good! Hope you are doing well :)<3
