Jett's Story
By Diana
Perham, MN

Jett was born with Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome with Tricuspid and Pulmonary Atresia. At age five days, he had his first surgery to put in a 'shunt'. At age seven months, he had his bi-directional Glenn surgery. Now, just a few weeks ago, he had his third and final Fontan surgery to finish up the trio of routine surgeries for this condition.

He has been home now for three days and is doing great. His oxygen levels are around 98%! After his first surgery, we were glad to see 70%. He has grown into a healthy, strong and vibrant two year old thanks to the work Dr. Moga and the Cardiovascular Team did at Children's.

All the doctors treated him extremely well and made sure we were always informed about what was going on. We look forward to his future with us and all his adventures!
