For eight hours. I can understand your pain, a little. My wife took the worst of it while it was happening, but it's a dreadful thing to force an 8 year old to face his own mortality. Twice.

Thanks.. It's hard to think about.. They had to crack open his rib cage and they wired it back up... The thought of him growing and having wires and whatever else holding him together is unsettling at best.. But he had a leak and a tear near one of the valves.. No choice.. But the little shit is doing fine.. Everytime he tumbles or runs.. I think of all he's been through.. Yet he could care less.. Lol..
Have a great day!
