Saturday, August 16, 2014. 5th Birthday - or Birthdays? Five There must be somthing magical about this number. I wish I remembered when I turned 5. Months before turning 5, Abi was psyched about her 5th birthday and being 5. No matter whether asked or not she kept telling everyone she was just about to be 5 years old. Here are some pictures starting with the pictures of the first birthday party. First 5th Birthday party (no more picture at the moment of writing this post, still sitting on the camer).

Thursday, December 6, 2012. 3 years post Double Switch. Yes, yesterday we went with Abi to see dr. Greene for her annual checkup and yes, this coming Sunday it will be 3 years since the first surgery. The appointment went great. Abi was happy, active, friendly, open and very social ;). Talked to everyone she could, was one big smile and, most importantly cooperated with every single test. Her blood pressure and EKG were perfect. Here she is with dr. Greene picking up some stickers, bracelets and toys.

Friday, November 9, 2012. Alright, time for another post. For today I picked another of Abigail's heart's complexities, namely Pulmonary Stenosis (PS). There are several forms of this abnormality and Pulmonary Stenosis may occur in couple different places of the heart-lung circulation system. Let's start with a short description of what Pulmonary Stenosis means. Basically it means there is an obstruction to the blood flow from right ventricle (right, lower pumping chamber) to the lungs. When the tricuspi...
