"Baby Brantley"

''Baby Brantley''

I'm sure the day Stevi Harrmann and Justin Frazier found out they was gonna have a baby, they never would have thought that something would be wrong with him. When Stevi was 19 weeks into her pregnancy they discovered there might be problems. After almost 12 hours of  laber Baby Brantley was born on August 30, 2012 at 11:41pm weighing 6lbs 6oz and was 19 inches long. He was diagnosed with Hypoplasic Left Sided Heart Syndrome and was in need of a Heart Transplant. Stevi and Justin were told only 1 in 9,00 children are born with a heart disease and even less are born with Hypoplasic Left Sided Heart Syndrome as severe as Brantley's. In most cases you have two options, either undergoing a three-step surgery process or repairing the heart periodically, leading to a heart transplant in the late teens, or do a transplant immediately as an infant. Sadly for Baby Brantley that was not the case. All the family could do now was sit, wait, and pray for a matching heart. On Justin Frazier's birthday (step. 7) they got the news that they found a heart for Brantley. The transplant started at 11 that night. It took 9 hours but the surgery was successful. Stevi and Justin are so ready to hold their baby boy and watch him grow.
