Bill: As tough as it's been looking back over the two years, you walk around Children's Hospital (Boston) and you see a lot of families that aren't as fortunate as we are, as tough as it has been. He's done terrific. People who don't know he has the disease, they think he's perfectly normal.
Diane: You wouldn't --
Bill: I guess in fact he really is perfectly normal.
Diane: That's what the repair is all about, I suppose. How many more surgeries will he need, or is he finished?
Bill: It's a three-stage repair, and he's gone through all three. We're really not looking at any more open heart surgeries, but possible catheterizations down the road.
Really right now, there are no imminent plans for any surgeries at all. Maybe a small surgery to close a hole in his heart that they manufactured in his repair, but even that's a little bit down the road. This is the first summer we've really had off, where we can plan a vacation, and we don't have to plan around surgeries. We're pretty happy about that.
