Lily Jane
 
 
 
Lily Jane was born on February 25, 2006 with HLHS. She has undergone the Norwood, bi-directional Glenn, and Fontan surgeries at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) with Dr. Thomas Spray. She also had a pacemaker placed in December 2006 to help better manage fluctuations in her heart rate due to ectopic atrial tachycardia.

Lily is currently a 4 year old girl who enjoys going to preschool, taking dance class, horses, and Disney princesses. Her condition is stable and she is growing and thriving each day. She is our hero!!!

— Julia, Lily's Mom (Yardley, PA)
