It's and we're sharing Heart Warrior and Heart Angel stories all week long. Meet Owen ❤ His mom shares his story: "At my 20-week anatomy scan, I was told that my baby may not live. My ultrasound was abnormal and something was wrong with my baby. I was transferred to a Maternal Fetal Specialist who was able to determine Owen had some pretty complex heart problems. These doctors were not hopeful for his outcome. From there we were referred to a pediatric cardiologist with Children's of Alabama. They were able to determine in utero that Owen had dextrocardia, pulmonary atresia, transposition of the great arteries, and double outlet right ventricle. He would require a surgery that is only performed once every three to four years at Children's of Alabama. But thankfully, they had a plan.

On April 10, 2022, Owen made his appearance weighing 7 lbs, 10 oz, and was 21 inches long. Immediately the neonatal/cardiac team whisked him away to get prostaglandins started to keep his Ductus Arteriosus open, so he was able to continue to get oxygen. At 5 days old, a stent was placed in the Ductus Arteriosus to keep it open without the medication. After a 2 week hospital stay we were sent home for him to grow as big as he could in preparation for his next procedure."
