Drew
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!

at was a lovely story! Evan and Drew are only a few weeks apart in age. We go to San Fran for our heart stuff too but we go to California Pacific Medical Center.
Would you stop making me cry Andrea? :) Amy
If you want to chat a bit more feel free to email me. It is a bit awkward talking through blogs.
I've heard about the bits and pieces since Drew was born, but never all together like this. I cried while I read this. I've known for almost 20 years what an amazing person you are. I know what an incredible person Dan is. Reading this though is truly inspiring. I'm proud and honored to have you both as friends. Thank you for sharing this.
