Aaric Paul

Tricuspid Atresia, PA band


Aaric Paul
During my pregnancy through a fetal echo, they discovered Aaric has a congenital heart defect: tricuspid atresia. He has a large left ventricle, small underdeveloped right ventricle, transposition of the great arteries, inverted ventricles, VSD and will require 3 heart surgeries.

He is currently doing very well.

— Lorraine, Aaric's Mother (Virginia)
