Iron (ferrous sulfate)

The subjects in the iron treatment arm of the study will receive 3 mg/kg of oral/enteral iron solution once a day beginning at the time of discharge until the pre-Glenn screening which is the endpoint of the study. The iron will be dispensed for the subjects upon discharge from the hospital. The subjects randomized to the no iron treatment arm and the patients in Group II of the study will not receive iron upon discharge. However, they may be started on iron therapy in an intent-to-treat anemia by their primary physician in which case this will serve as the endpoint of the study for these participants.
