For August 20th to get here. We found out the end of July that little Lukas' has a couple congential (born with) heart defects. He will be going into open heart surgery on Thursday the 20th at 7:30am CT at Childrens Hospital in Omaha.
#1 They found that his aortic valve only has 2 closures instead of 3. The blood has been leaking back down into his left ventricle causing his heart to work harder and build up tissue causing a narrowed passage for the blood to go through his heart.
#2 They found that a portion of his aorta is too narrow and there is a build up of tissue in his left atrium.
They will go in repair the valve and expand the portion of his aorta that is too narrow, and clean out the build up of tissue
Please keep Lukas and the surgeons in your prayers...I will try to keep everyone updated throughout this whole process.
Josh, Alicia, Easton, and Lukas,
