12 years ago today, Connor had open heart surgery to repair a
complete AV canal defect and a
VSD. He was also born with a
PDA but that had closed on its own by the time of his surgery. He was just over 4 months old at the time of his surgery.

Though this was a very stressful time in our lives I wouldn't change any of it. It's part of who we are. Connor is as healthy as can be expected and only has to visit the cardiologist every 3 years. At some point, he may need another heart surgery but so far, so good. I am SO thankful for him and for the medical advances that allowed him to live and be healthy!
