Hi my name is Jennifer I am ShawnnBears mom. ShawnBear was born with HLHS.We chose the 3 stage surgery. Shawn had his Norwood open heart surgery on January 3rd 2008 and came home on the 19th . He was doing well until about three months old when they decided to do the Glenn early at 3months because of low oxagen sats. When Shawn came back for surgery he was ok for about 3 hours then he came very close to leaving us. He was rushed back to the O.R. and came back in stable condition. Despite that stepback we were sent home about a week later. Shawn was sent home on oxagen because his sats were still in the low 70's. cardio doc said that we should concider another open heart sugery to repair this. Shawn had his reconstuction of the tricuspid valve at CHLA by Dr Vaugh Starnes.December 2009 shawnBear had a pacemaker placed due to low heart rate while sleeping. Shawn has been long but he smiled all the way through. By looking at my amazing boy you would not know that he was born with only half a heart and had 4 open heart surgerys . I have learned a lot from Shawn but the most important thing is not to take life for granted. Enjoy every moment

Shawn Sellers passed away Jan 29th 2011

I am still at a loss for words. I miss my ShawnBear so much. Shawn went into cardiac arrest on Jan 27th at home. The total down time for Shawn was 45 min. So the Drs and nurses were not hopeful that Shawn would make a recovery from this. Due to the lack of CPR administered and the neglagence of the EMT's who responded stopped CPR because they picked up a Rythem from his pacemaker and we told tthem multiple times he has a Pace Maker. Shawn passed 2 days later at  Childrens Hospital due to complications from his arrest =((((. I still cant believe he is gone and at most times dont know what to do with myself. I love you ShawnBear Forever and for Always.
