Child's condition: Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
Jonathan
Jonathan suffers from hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a condition that leaves the left side of the heart severely underdeveloped. He was born without a left ventricle, which causes major difficultly in the flow of blood from his heart to the rest of his body. Although this congenital heart defect cannot be entirely cured, patients can undergo a series of surgeries or a heart transplant. To date, Jonathan has completed three open-heart open heart surgeries each one a success. Thanks to the amazing staff at SickKids Jonathan is happy and healthy and just like any other boy his age.
