About mid-June, I received an email from Abby Scklarek that began: “I just read the article in Parents Magazine and I knew I had to get in touch with you…” It turns out Abby has a one-year-old son, Colin, who also has scimitar syndrome. She shared with me that he would need heart surgery sometime within the next 2 years.
After Colin’s cardiac catheterization, it was determined he should be scheduled for surgery sooner rather than later. I heard from Abby this morning that Colin’s surgery will be performed at Children’s Hospital Boston on Tuesday, October 19. “While we are scared and nervous beyond belief,” Abby says, “we are also excited to get his little heart fixed, and get this behind us. Would you put us on your prayer list?”
Absolutely! Friends of Nathan’s Prayer, please remember Colin and his family as surgery approaches.
