Josiah age 8 years
He is wearing his wetsuit. This is about three years after his corrective surgery (his fourth), so he has been very healthy. He wears the wetsuit because he cannot tolerate swimming without it. He turns purple within 5 minutes of being in the pool, outside, inside, hot weather, it doesn't matter. I don't know why he cannot maintain his body tempreture in water, but the wet-suit prevents this problem. We got the wet suit from Dolphin Wetsuits in Australia. The man who made it, did it at cost. He will do it for other heart kids too.
This wet suit cost us about $100 dollars two year ago, and Josiah is still wearing it. Thank you Dolphin Wet Suits! |
