Bonnie’s Story

Site created on January 7, 2024

Hello everyone! I wanted to use this website to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your love and support for our family during Alistair’s heart journey. Alistair has TGA( transposition of the great arteries) and will have open heart surgery to switch his arteries to the proper position so he can receive oxygen to all parts of his body. We appreciate the words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for caring for us!

Journal entry by Bonnie Schneider

Hi friends and family!
Just a quick check in on Alistair! ❤️
We’ve  been out of the hospital for a few weeks now, and have been seeing such great progress in our boy. We’ve had weekly appointments at All Childrens here in Sarasota for cardiology, physical therapy, and lactation to keep him continuing to improve in all areas of his development after his surgeries. 
He remains on oxygen as we slowly monitor his right pulmonary artery for widening. His next echocardiogram will be in May to see any progress. Continue to pray for healing! 

Today he was a perfect patient for a fairly quick procedure involving upgrading his g tube to the much smaller and convenient mic-key button feeding tube. 
He has shown us how much of a happy and pleasant baby he is. His siblings adore him and help out in any way they can. 😊He always has such a sweet and smiley demeanor, and goes through these appointments and procedures like a champ. Because he was such a great patient, we rewarded him with a Florida gator Wubba Nub paci. He loves it! 
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for all the love, prayers, and support!
