Florida family thankful for son's life-saving surgery

BOSTON (FOX25, myfoxboston) - A little Florida boy was diagnosed with a deadly heart condition at just six weeks old.

Denise Sanders, the boy's mother, was told there was no surgery for her son Michael's condition. The boy was placed on a feeding tube and attended to by hospice.

But it turned out that the only doctor who could fix Michael’s heart was right here in Boston.

Dr. Pedro del Nido, a pediatric cardiologist working for the company, Best Doctors , looked through the little Michael Sanders medical records, determined that he had been misdiagnosed and figured out a way to save him.

"I guess you can see what Best Doctors has done for us, you gave us back our son," says Denise Sanders.

Now, nearly a year and a half after Michael’s open-heart surgery, just before the holidays, his parents is return to Boston to thank the doctor and the company that put them together.
