A Lil' Boy's Journey to Live….

About

He subsequently developed stenosis of each of his pulmonary veins and has undergone over a dozen Cardiac Catheterization with dilation/stent placement in all four pulmonary veins. He has also had a stent placed in the BT shunt. As of today Riley only has his RUPV and LLPV remaining. The other two have completely occluded. As of 11/2/09 Riley has been listed for a Bilateral Lung/Heart Transplant and requires continuous O2. Riley also had the Ladds procedure 1/6/09 along with placement of a Gtube/Feeding Tube.
