John is diagnosed with a Cardiac/Pulmonary condition which makes it difficult for John to get enough oxygen to his body. He also has Atrial Septal Defect Supraventricular Tachycardia, with left portal vein thrombosis. John has a gastrostomy button (or G-button) which provides access to the child's stomach for feedings and medications. John has been doing well and rarely has to use the G-button. He has been able to eat food regularly by mouth. Although he has this condition, he is currently healthy and very active. Visit me at the TARE Gallery.

The family who will be best suited for John would be one who can provide a loving, nurturing environment, and be able to care for his medical condition. The family will have to continue to meet John's developmental, physical,and emotional needs. The family must be patient and willing to work to understand and take care of John's medical condition.
