  Olivia Alejandra Sanchez, was born on November 2, 2018 at the Children's Hospital of San Antonio (Santa Rosa) with a Congenital Heart Defect condition :: Pulmonary Atresia, Double outlet right ventricle, ventricular septal defect with dextrocardia. Olivia had heart surgery on November 6, 2018 which she had the BT Shunt, within  the 12 days of recovering from the BT shunt, Olivia developed a clot in her shunt and had to do a Cath Lab surgery. There was a 50/50 chance of making it, but Olivia fought it through. Six months later she had to do the Glenn Procedure, and recovery time was 7 days, while the doctors gave her two weeks. On April 25, 2022, Olivia had the fenestration Fontan Procedure and this surgery took 12 hours since it was a complicated surgery. While recovery time Olivia's left diaphragm wasn't working as much as the right one, 8 days post op from the Fontan Olivia had to go back and do left sided throacotomy for the diaphragm plication. All went well in surgery and just recovery time is a process. Having a Cath lab on 7/5/22 Olivia's Fontan was declared a failed Fontan, so we are having visits in Houston (Texas Children Hospital) so we can see what are Olivia's next step to getting better. Her story amazes me as a mom because through and through she hasn't given up and continues to fight with everything she has and PRAY TO THE ALMIGHTY.

By donating, you will help many kids with CHD like Olivia.
