Baby To Get More Surgery On His Heart
Quintell Thompson, months old son of Pearlene Thompson of 721 S Muldrow Sr, is expected to undergo further heart surgery within the next month at the University Medical Center in Columbia. He previously underwent a groundbreaking open heart operation on March 21 using an ice bath to stop blood circulation, creating a hole between heart chambers to transfer blood. The hole has not grown with him and must be enlarged, while his condition has improved under observation and medication. Doctors expect to reuse the ice bath method for the upcoming procedure, feasible for infants under one year old.
