Poor little Baby Bear. Having bloods done was a bit traumatic as his vein was hard to find. It took lots of crying, 2 people and multiple attempts at wiggling the needle around.

His surgery, hopefully on Monday, will last for about 4 hours (hmm, what am I going to do for 4 hours in an unfamiliar city while stressing about B in surgery?!). The surgeon will use B's own pericardium to patch the large VSD and will stitch closed the PFO. The smaller VSD is in an area that will make it very difficult to locate so if he can't find it he will put a band of some kind on that will dissolve after 3 months, hopefully giving the hole time to close by itself. If it doesn't close then B will have to have a catheter procedure done or another open heart surgery.
