Please help support sweet Ladson. Read his story below and please donate. He is scheduled for heart ablation and catherization is next week and open heart surgery is scheduled for Oct 4.
Ladson's story...Ladson Von Hardesty has been diagnosed with Ebstein’s anomaly which makes up less than 1% of CHD. This is where the tricuspid valve did not develop in its normal spot which causes a very small right ventricle, ventricular tissue that acts as atrial tissue and does not function properly, and try spud regurgitation. He has also been diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome which causes him to break into SVT if not given a strict dose of propanol every 8 hours. He also has two ASDs (atrial septal defects) that cause shunting of blood between his two atriums. He was at MUSC in congestive heart failure the first week of November 2017 at 6 months old. He has been in SVT 3 times since then and hospitalized three times recently with declining oxygen levels, the last being down in the 60’s. He does not poop for days even on miralax and the thought is it could be due to lack of perfusion to his gut. We reached out and sent all of his medical history to the specialist at Mayo and he scheduled to do surgery within 3-6 months, but that was before this most recent drop into the 60’s and now MUSC is performing his ablation and heart cath on September 26th because they feel he could be having some pulmonary hypertension. Then they are going in and performing his open heart surgery to reconstruct the right side of his heart on October 4th.
