Third Open Heart Surgery

Orianna's third open heart surgery was just 9 1/2 months ago.  She had a heart catheterization just 4 1/2 months ago.  This surgery was also a planned surgery and Orianna was out of the hospital in 7 days!  She was the fastest recovery of any little person ever from the fontan procedure.  The record was 8 days.

Orianna - 2 1/2 years old

Some days I wonder why I am so tired and then I remember what we went through just this year......
People asked how we got through it - I say my husband, our entire supportive family and friends, and horses.
