I just love how cute Jadyn is driving her and her friend around. Happy Belated Birthday Jadyn. I love the Build a Bear party idea and her Kai Lan cake was to cute. So glad that Jadyn was feeling better for her big celebration.
Jadyn's Saint Paddy's Day outfit was so adorable. I love it!!
Thanks for sharing the other blog. I hope to catch up reading it today or tomorrow.
I just realized why J's surgery was different than Jadyns and Nini's. J already had stenosis in his pulmonary artery which allowed the muscles on the left side of his heart to be strengthened enough to handle the higher pressure of supplying blood to the body. Since his left ventricle was of adequate size, they were able to just switch the arteries below the valves. The existing good valve was used for the left ventricle (high pressure side) and they replaced the valve with stenosis to an artificial valve for the low pressure side (right ventricle). He will have to have his artificial valve replaced as he gets older.
I just realized this by reading Nini's blog. This is why J's oxygen is now in the 90's and Jadyns is in the 80 's.
My husband Ames and I adopted our beautiful little girl from China in August 2009. This site is for our family, friends and fellow adoptive families to follow Jadyn's journey.
Jadyn was born with a heart condition called transposition of the great arteries. She had open heart surgery on September 3, 2009. She had her final corrective heart surgery on July 16, 2010.
