Winnie Matthysse

Winnie Matthysse, granddaughter of Dick and June Matthysse, was diagnosed prior to her birth with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, or HLHS, which means that the left side of her heart is underdeveloped. As a result, she will require three open-heart surgeries. Her first two surgeries were successful and she is now home. Her next open heart surgery is anticipated in approximately six weeks.
