Here is my son after his pacemaker surgery - he turned 3 on Nov. 1.

Thanks - with his Spiderman shirt on and Shrek next to him he's a happy kid!



He had a titanium mitral valve put in at 15 weeks after a failed repair of the valve and ASD at 8 weeks. After battling with chronic heart failure, the docs hope the re-synchronization therapy (what the pacemaker is for) will help his heart re-learn how to "act normally". Otherwise it is transplant city for us...

Aww. he looks so peaceful sleeping there. Happy Birthday a little late. Hope his pacemaker helps him feel better. I know after I got mine, yes mine, I felt 100% better and had more energy! Good luck with the pacemaker.
