Safe and Sound

Little Hannah Piper is still alive and kicking! The surgery was a success. While the doctor was not able to widen her valve completely, he did enough to minimize her condition so that it really shouldn’t present much of a problem in the future. Just need check-ups every now and then to make sure it doesn’t start thickening again. And the cost of surgery and two nights stay in the hospital? $90 freaking U.S. dollars! One reason you have to love Taiwan. You probably couldn’t even buy half a bandage at the hospital for $90 back in the States.

So far, Hannah doesn’t seem to be suffering from any discomfort or complications from the surgery. She’s her usual smiley, talkative self when she’s not hungry and super duper grumpy when she’s hungry or tired. She’s definitely a resilient little bugger. If an earthquake can't stop her, what's a mere heart complication going to do?

And it doesn’t hurt to have such a wonderful big sister like Caitlyn. I am so proud of how well she’s handling our new addition to the family. She loves helping out and playing with Hannah. Whenever Hannah starts crying, she’ll say something like, “Maybe we should bring her over and play Lego’s in front of her. She likes it when we do that.” Super cute. I can’t wait to see how their relationship develops.

As for the wife, she can now turn her attention to the next pressing matter at hand for her – what to do with Caitlyn for the summer since she has two months off from school. Ahhh!!! I suppose the wife wouldn’t be the wife if she didn’t have something to worry about. Daniel Tiger says in times like these, you should take a deep breath and count to four.
