8/29 Niece update

Today has been a hard day. They were at the hospitals for most of the day so are just generally drained and also emotions are starting to struggle.  The news from the appointments is not all that promising.  They are concerned about the heart.  They can't tell exactly where the problem is, but it is with the valves.  If the problem is on the left side, then there will be no surgery, I'm guessing because it is too severe..... Also, the docs would not give a percentage chance because they are never accurate enough, so that was discouraging to them.  There may also be a problem with one of the arms.  The result of today:  Induction for September 10th as of now.  More appointments tomorrow and then they are done until September 5th.

On a lighter note, they are at the Ronald McDonald House now!  We plan to go out to dinner with them Friday and do some fun Seattle sights, like the new Great Wheel on either Sunday or Monday.

As for us, the boys had dentist appointments today; Logan's first and he did awesome!  He didn't even cry until the very end when he tasted the fluoride.  Shaun did great also including x-rays, and both have no cavities!
