Mason was born on January 28, 2008. Mason had a heart murmur at birth but it wasn’t until 2 weeks later that we discovered his 22q11.2 deletion. He had a VSD, ASD, and parachute mitral valve. Heart repairs were completed in August, 2008 but Mason still has a parachute mitral valve that we are monitoring. Mason also has partial complex seizures as a result of his cortical dysplasia diagnosis. We continue to be hopeful for the future and give him every resource possible!
