Sorry we haven't posted any updates in a while. We did get out of the hospital and Everett is definitely getting back to his old self. He's running around like nothing ever happened. He does get fatigued after playing outside for a little bit, but that will get better the more he recovers.
I'm back at work in Little Rock and Alisha and Everett are still in Honey Grove. He has a follow-up appointment on Thursday, so they are staying in Texas until next weekend. Since I'm at work, I don't have any pictures, but I'll get Alisha to post some later on.

James Everett was born September 13, 2007 with several heart defects that were not detected prenatally: Pulmonary Atresia (PA), Double-Inlet Left Ventricle (DILV), and Levo-Transposition of the Great Arteries (L-TGA).

He had his first open heart surgery, the Blalock-Taussig shunt, on September 25th when he was 12 days old. Just 10 days later on October 5, Everett had to be taken back into the OR to drain off the fluid that had accumulated around his heart that could not be diuresed with medication. In January '08 he had his Glenn procedure, and in March '09 he had his Fontan procedure. After these four open heart surgeries he is doing wonderfully!
