Hi friends and family! We are so happy you are here!
Shortly after birth, it was discovered that August had a heart defect (Anomalous Origin of Pulmonary Artery). At just 3 days old, he went through a Cardiac Catharization procedure to place a stint into his heart. With the help of this procedure, oxygen, and medications, August was able to be happy, comfortable, and grow big & strong at home until his 2nd Cardiac Catharization procedure in December to widen his stint. August continued to show his strength, perseverance, and little personality leading up to his open heart surgery on March 12th, 2025. This surgery repaired his defect and has allowed him to truly thrive into the happiest little boy. We are amazed by his strength and all he has achieved already in life! Augie is the most incredible warrior and our love for him continues to grow immensely each day. We are beyond grateful and amazed by his medical team and their individualized care and knowledge for Augie. (Thank you Dr. Heibel, Dr. Sharma, and the Methodist PCCU team!!!)
We are so excited to celebrate August and all he has surpassed! Thank you to all of our incredible family and friends for your ongoing love and support.
