Our Hearts' Heart
Our son Cooper was recently diagnosed with an aortic coarctation. We will use our blog to keep everyone updated on his condition and surgery.

Medical Records
Just read through 73 pages of Cooper's medical history encompassing his diagnosis in August, heart surgery in Oct. and his follow-ups. Needless to say, we have a lot to be thankful for this year. Great to read Dr. Gus's report and see "The aortic arch is widely patent (which mean unobstructed in this context - I looked it up) without evidence of residual coarctation."

The Bracelets Are In
We posted a few weeks ago about the bracelets we had made for Dr. Gus' charities - WVU Children's Hospital, the Ronald McDonald House and Camp Mountain Hope.
We've had them for about a week now, but we felt with the devestation Hurricane Sandy caused last week, that wasn't an appropriate time to ask people to support us.
So the bracelets are in. They are $3 each or 2 for $5. If you are in the Waynesburg area, shoot me a message and we can meet up. If you are in Steubenville, my mom has some. If you are in NOVA, Pam's sister Sandy has some. If none of those options work for you, send me an email with how many you need and your address and you can either send me a check or pay via PayPal.
Thanks in advance for your support.

Three Weeks Later
It's hard to believe that it's been three weeks since Coop's surgery. Thanks for all the prayers for both him and us.
We didn't post any pictures of his incision. But here is his scar. It goes from just left of his spine to under his arm.
