At the age of two R.J. was diagnosed with a condition called Aortic Stenosis. He has a growth of tissue in his heart that blocks the flow of blood into the Aorta. Over the last ten years the tissue has enlarged and now must be removed. The function of his Aortic valve has also been affected and may need to be repaired. This requires open heart surgery.
R.J. will be having surgery sometime soon at Primary Children's Hospital. We are very grateful to be living so near a wonderful hospital and feel confident that all will go well with his surgery. We have started this blog to keep friends and family updated and in the "know".

Waiting Some More
Spoke with the hospital today. Still no surgery date scheduled. The surgeons scheduler has assured us that RJ has not been forgotten. She will speak with the surgeon tomorrow morning and call us. If she hasn't called me... I will call her :)
Hope the date is found soon. :)
