Oliver Robert Halligan was born on November 11, 2013 at 11:11am at Sewickley Hospital. He was a scheduled C-Section and was a healthy looking baby at 7lbs 11oz. and was a long 20.5 inches long. At 18 hours old, he was diagnosed with a rare heart condition called Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return (TAPVR). With TAPVR, the veins that are supposed to circulate the oxygenated blood from his lungs to his heart were not going back to his heart. Instead, they were coming together and going through Oliver’s diaphragm and emptying into his liver. Oliver has been at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC since the day after he was born, where his family is confident he has the best doctors, surgeons and nurses available. During this time he has undergone two open heart surgeries, two cardiac arrests, seizures, kidney failure and a PD catheter surgery. After being on a breathing tube for 2.5 months, he has had that removed and is now on nasal canula bypap! Oliver is defying the odds and is getting stronger and stronger everyday!
