Rhyer

Meet beautiful blue eyed Rhyer! This little hero has been through a lot in his short 3 1/2 years. Diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, Rhyer has already suffered a massive stroke and had 3 open heart surgeries. At one point we were told he may never sit-up or walk. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome occurs when parts of the left side of the heart (mitral valve, left ventricle, aortic valve, and aorta) do not develop completely. The condition is congenital (present at birth). Rhyer is really more then a hero, he is a miracle. People can’t always explain the amount of joy and happiness they see in Rhyer. He has a sparkle in his eyes and a smile that would melt anyone’s heart. Despite the hardships his family has been through the amount of love they share for each other is truly inspirational Rhyer has so much heart and so much love!
