Boston

Boston called this morning (June 5, 2012) to begin the process of scheduling Diego's first surgery with Dr del Nido.  This was truly one of those bittersweet moments.  It was sweet in the sense that for the first time I am at peace with the path we are on for Diego’s heart.  It was bitter in the sense that this opens the door for a great deal of fears to be exposed.  The first surgery will be the pulmonary artery banding with the hope of having a positive benefit on his tricuspid valve and preparing the left ventricle (that is on Diego's right side) for the anatomic repair called the Double Switch.
