Well, from the drawings I'm guessing he's missing his right ventricle entirely, or at least the right and left ventricles are fused into one. Which means oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are mixing, reducing the amount of oxygen available to the body.
What remaining surgeries does Evan have? Do they plan to do any reconstruction?
A friend of mine has a 2 yr. old daughter who was born with a heart similar to that first picture. She's already been through two surgeries and may need more later. Luckily, so far everything has been fine and her prognosis is very, very good.
Here are a few facts about me: I am married, I have 3 lovely boys and 1 girl: Evan (9), Harry (8), Daniel (4) and Lily (2); I love reading (especially science fiction novels but I do have a wide range of reading interests); I dabble in many different crafts (right now I am into knitting) and I don't floss my teeth every day like I should. My eldest son has a complex heart defect and that has changed my life in so many ways (mostly good).
