Little Zachary has a lot to look forward to. He's soon to become a big brother and a five-piece suit has been picked out for him - complete with engraved cufflinks - to be a pageboy at his parents' wedding later this year. But Zachary is still awaiting surgery for a rare heart condition that threatens his life.
Nine-month-old Zachary was born with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a rare heart condition that is a combination of several defects. Babies with TOF have a higher risk of getting an infection of the layers of the heart and a higher risk of having irregular heart rhythms, or arrhythmia.
Natasha Browning, Zachary's mum, had never heard of the condition before doctors confirmed he had the complex condition when she was 22 weeks pregnant. After he was born, he was immediately put into intensive care and his parents say they were not able to be discharged without knowing basic life support.
