He is only 9. It is repairable with open heart surgery, which he will have soon, but not scheduled yet.
I've read up about it on the internet, but still am confused at what it exactly is....is anyone familiar that can explain it to me easier..
Pulmonary Sling
It is a rare condition and usually discovered at birth, so it's unusual it's showing up now. He can't eat solid foods because of the pressure on his esophogus and in the past two weeks has lost alot of weight.
It's so hard when little ones are sick....my sister says he cries alot because he doesn't feel good, has no energy, is hungry and can't eat. His breathing is being effected too and his left lung never developed correctly and is deformed (nothing they can do for that).
Anyway if you could spare a small prayer for my nephew, Greg Jr., I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
