Met the Surgeon 7-7-10

We met with the surgeon Dr. Winfield Wells today at Children's Hospital. The meeting went really well. Dr. Wells said that Michael's heart condition is the best to have. He gave us a 98% success rate. Dr. Wells also showed us the procedures that will take place on Michael and the process when he is born. He was very comforting. After the meeting we were shown the Natal ICU. That was incredible, there were 20 doctors and nurses looking over 8-10 babies with heart disease. There is 1 nurse dedicated to each baby at all times. Michael will be in great hands. We were also comforted in knowing that one of us can be in the ICU 24 hours a day. There is also sleeping quarters for the parents when we need to take a nap. Although it wasn't our ideal place to spend our anniversary of 3 years. It kind of was.

-This is the profile of our surgeon.
