I was jusssssssssssssssssssssst going to bug Lisa to get you to post a recent pic of the clan. I had been wondering how Angello was doing. Everyone looks fantastic!!
I just read the first and last page of this series, but I had to write to you right away. I used to work with a lady whose son had/has HPLHS. Her first son was perfectly healthy and they were devastated to learn that their little baby had such a hard road in front of him. They also opted for the surgeries. They were pretty much around the ages that Angello has had his. WEll, I had to write immediately because Martin is now 4 years old and perfect in every way. When the pre-schoolers start looking at belly-buttons, he one-ups them with his "badge" (they call it his "heroes badge"
) He keeps up with his big brother and loves to make cakes with mom.
I hope this brings you joy as it did to me when I was reading your story.
