Living with HLHS
An optimistic nod to the future
Over the past two decades, prognosis, surgical survival and life expectancy for children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) have improved dramatically. Here, Karla gives Kara hope for what lies ahead. Derick talks about Jaden's newfound energy, and Jaden proudly shows off his scars.
Meet Robert: another HLHS survivor
Rumors of low HLHS survival rates were dispelled when Robert's mom learned about strong surgical outcomes at Children's Colorado. Here, they gave her son a 90% chance of survival.
Staying well
After treatment, children with HLHS can go on to live relatively normal lives. Our Wellness Program is here to support families and help you navigate the challenges of life with a congenital heart condition – long after your child leaves the hospital – through both clinic visits and events and activities.
Care for a lifetime
When patients reach adolescence, experts in our Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program will help them learn about their heart condition and successfully transition to adult-based care. Should the need for additional treatment ever arise, our congenital heart experts are uniquely positioned to continue their care.
