If you click on this link: Comprehensive Stage II you will be able to read (page 5) about Endurance's "Hybrid procedure" that he had back in September 2010. Starting on page 6, it describes the comprehensive stage II, the surgery that Dr. Galantowicz will be doing tomorrow. Endurance does not have hypoplastic left heart syndrome, but that's what he's being treated as. His left ventricle actually works a bit. He, as we all know, is a case of his own! He's not the typical "hybrid" baby either. Also, another complicated procedure the doctor will be performing on Endurance tomorrow is to repair his tricuspid valve so it doesn't leak as much. His leaks severely.
I need to say THANK YOU to the visitors we've had already here in Ohio! Even yesterday we had three families visit from the same church, who drove over an hour to encourage us, meet Endurance, and pray for us. What an absolute blessing from God! And we've had others as well! Thank you! We are so thankful to God for showing us how the body of Christ comes together. I am greatly humbled. I am excited for Heaven!
Thank you for the ecards that have been sent to Endurance. My heart swells up with tears as I read each one and tape it up in Endurance's room.
We will post as much as possible to keep you updated on Endurance. Oh, he will start the process of his surgery tomorrow morning around 8:00 am est (that's three hours ahead to our Washington/California brothers and sisters!!!) :), and the surgery, if all goes as planned, will begin closely to 9:00. We will all be here. Please pray. Please call if you want!

Hello, my son had a congenital heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot and had a surgery last July at the age of 4 months. It was the hardest thing we went through. My heart goes out for Endurance and the your family. We are praying that his surgery went well and he is on the way to a good recovery.
