Brave Brexton!
Meet our friend ๐๐ซ๐๐ฑ๐ญ๐จ๐งโhe is an amazing little fighter ๐ช๐ผโค๏ธโ And just last Monday, Brexton is celebrating12 weeks since his 2nd open heart surgery due to having a complex CHD!โ โ
โ โ
Brexton was born with multiple types of heart defects known as c๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ฑ ๐๐๐, his mom shares with us. โ โ
โ โ
A ๐๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐๐ฅ ๐ก๐๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ญ (๐๐๐) is a structural problem of the heart that develops during pregnancy. There are about ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ฌ that are born with a congenital heart defect. There are many types of congenital heart defects, ranging from simple to complex.โ โ
โ โ
As for Brexton, he was born with what is known as Coarctation of the Aorta (COA), Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV), Double Outlet Left Atrium (DOLA), and Complete Atrioventricular Canal (CAVC) on top of having a leaky heart. As soon as he was born he only had a few seconds to be put on oxygen and prostaglandins (PGE) to stay alive!โ โ
โ โ
Brexton is the boy whom CHOA said he only had 10% chance of survival. Brexton has had ๐ญ๐ฐ๐จ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐ก๐๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ, and if all goes well, he will not undergo another until he is from 3 or 5 years old. โ โ

๐๐ซ๐๐ฑ๐ญ๐จ๐ง ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐จ๐๐๐ฌ! He was reportedly one of the first babies at UFS ands and Children's Hospital of Atlanta to be delivered with complex CHD.โ โ
โ โ
The family were even told that this little warrior might not be able to make it without a Berlin Heart or a heart transplant because of the complexity of his condition. But great news! ๐๐ซ๐๐ฑ๐ญ๐จ๐ง ๐ก๐๐ฌ ๐ซ๐๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ก๐จ๐ฆ๐ and have even celebrated his ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐๐๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง ๐ก๐๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ฒ! How awesome, strong and brave this little boy is?! ๐ฅฐโ โ
