Paul Aaron

HLHS, Fontan


Paul (at left) and his family

Paul was born 3 August 1996 with HLHS. He's undergone all three corrective surgeries; his Fontan was done in October 1998. Overall he's doing great!

He is our Hero. He's taught us so much about life; he's taught us to love, laugh, cry, have hope, have patience, to try new things and most of all—he's taught us to Live.

— Archie & Duree (Paul's Parents) & little brother Philip (Asotin, WA)
