HELLO!!
This blog is created not only to keep our family and friends updated on Abi's condition, events, surgeries and everyday life... but also to provide legit and educated information about Congenital Heart Defects that touch 1 in 100 babies.

Her first surgery - PA band - was scheduled for December 8th, 2009, however unexpectedly was changed to an Open Heart Surgery (OHS) called Double Switch performed on December 9th, 2009, originally planned for much later...
