Congratulations Rachel!
My baby sister graduated from high school last night! Congratulations Rachel! And Congratulations Mom and Dad! Your 15 years at Canyon are finally over!
The beautiful graduate
Rachel's audience
I ran into my high school AP History teacher, Mr. Lynch
First, congrats to the grads.... Second, I'm not ENTIRELY pleased that people I remember as little kids are now graduating from high school and college....just putting that out there.
Drew is a happy 7-year-old who loves his family, his friends, and everything Star Wars! He was born with a CHD, specifically interrupted aortic arch, VSD, hypoplastic aortic root and DiGeorge Syndrome. He has had three open-heart surgeries, the most recent was in May 2008 at Stanford. He is so strong and brave and we are very proud of him.
Ava
Ava is a spirited 5-year-old girl. She loves her family, friends and climbing, jumping and dancing. She brings us a lot of joy and a lot of drama! She is heart healthy. We love to see all the adventures she has!
This is how Drew's heart is now!
One and a half ventricle repair 1) VSD closed with a patch 2) Conduit from right ventricle to pulmonary artery . Drew still has the SVC connected to the PA in the upper left. Thank you Dr. Hanley and Dr. Mainwaring!
