Ivey Raper | Children's of Alabama
Atrioventricular (AV) canal defect and pulmonary atresia Ivey Raper’s journey with Children’s of Alabama began long before she was even born. At her 18-week anatomy scan, Ivey’s mother, McKayla, learned that something didn’t look right. Imaging showed Ivey’s stomach positioned on the right side of her body instead of the left, prompting referral to specialists and close monitoring throughout the remainder of the pregnancy. “They didn’t have a diagnosis at that time, but they knew something was off with her heart,” McKayla shares.
