Ariana Terese

HLHS, Norwood



Ariana, taken just before her Norwood operation

My name is Ariana, and I was born on October 5th, 2002, in Boston MA. Mom and Dad were aware of a problem with my heart beforehand. I have HLHS, so they arranged to give birth to me in Boston, instead of their home state of New Hampshire.

As of this writing, I am just shy of 2 weeks old, and my doctor is already starting to think about sending me home.

? Al & Cindy, Ariana's Parents (Merrimack, NH)
