Every time I watch this, I cry and remember my son´s VSD surgery, and realize how small we are before God´s blessings.

Good luck in life baby Luke.

Hello i am french, i am living ine Ardennes in the noth of france, my little girl was born two weeks ago, and she has been opered free days ago…now she can breathe alone, and she’s starting to drink some milk…
It’s such a hard moment to live but we’ve got to think about the future…and trust in those chirugians who give a new life to our child…

Thank you so much for your video. Luke is absolutely beautiful. Our nephew is due in a couple of weeks, he also has TGA. We are praying for him and we hope he comes out of this healthy and strong. Seeing Luke’s video gives our hope a great boost. Thanks again

@mannurse714 I’m 22 years old and was born with TGA. I had my operation when I was 9 months old and can’t remember it happening, only through my hospital visits. I’m healthy and working full time and live a normal life.

I was told I had an older version of the operation back in 1988 with more risks involved but even with that I’m strong, healthy and love life.

I hope this is helped with your concerns, feel free to ask me anything. I’m very happy to help

All the best with your new baby.

My nephew just had this done at Sick kids in Toronto, he is on his way home as I type this, two weeks later, so glad he made it through. Great video too.

My son Levi, just over 7 months now had also TGA. You can watch his video on youtube. com/watch?v=5n6dVI7SKbw. If anyone wants more information, feel free to leave a comment on our video.
He is such a wonderfull boy now, smiling the whole day!
To God is all the glory, He was so near to us during the hospitaltime!

My son was born April 6th, 2010 and diagnosed with TGA 24 hours after birth. He had his switch operation at three days old and his chest was left open for 4 days. Words can’t grasp how it feels to be a parent (first time) and going through that. My son had surgery a month later for Pyloric Stenosis and all went well.

He is now 4 months old and beautiful and you would never know what he went through. Thanks for your video. It reminded me of how fortunate we all are.

After spending 2 mths in the hospital, my daughter was finally released. She was 4 days old at surgery, and we were told she wouldn’t survive. She is now 10 beautiful years old, and the joy of our lives!

My daughter had the exact same heart condidtion as your son. She also was rushed back to surgery, and her chest was left opened for 5 days. U

So pink and well perfused after his heart was fixed! He is just beautiful!

I know you must be a very busy person and I don’t want to take too much of your time. However, on my 23th week of pregnancy my baby was diagnosed with a heart defect called Transposition of the Great Arteries and will require surgery immediately just after birth.
Would you be kind enough to give me some words of advise and some information to put my mind at ease. In the past one week I’ve being watching this video a million times, your son being my hope. God bless your family!

@mannurse714
