 I know when facing the idea of open heart surgery it really helped me to see happy & healthy babies after surgery!  Here are a few shots of Andrew (now 6 months) one month post-op.  He is looking great and feeling good... and happy as a clam!  I would love to see some other kiddos post op too!

Enjoy!

My son had his surgery at 2 months, and here is a pic at 2 years (sorry, used a regular camera when I took his post op pictures) Looks like your munchkin is really healing nicely.
