A note from Lizzie:
"Somehow between recalling what was actually true of the condition of Eric’s heart and letting it come through my mouth, I got all the details mixed up for the podcast recording. Here are the actual details about Eric’s heart condition:
Eric was born with a condition known as Transposition of the Great Arteries. This means that the two major arteries that lead away from the heart were transposed or “switched.” This had to be corrected with a surgery called a Fontan Procedure, which he had at 3 years old. In this corrective surgery the two ventricles of the heart were allowed to combine to do what would normally be one ventricle’s job. Blood is not pumped directly by the heart to the lungs. Some would say the blood 'falls' into the lungs (gravity), but it's mostly the pressure in the veins that gets it there.”
Isaiah 41:10 “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (ESV)
