    Great story. After our son was born and diagnosed with a heart defect, the doctors sent us home the night before Thanksgiving as well and we too, were so thankful. Hope Nathan recovers fully and enjoys his Mac.

    Having spent Thanksgiving thur Easter at Children’s , I am so grateful and happy that Nathan could be at home. 23 yrs ago , it was Heart surgery that took us to Children’s. Bethany had surgery at 6 weeks. AV Canal by John Myers. 23 years later she was diagnosed with JPS, . Colon Cancer. Her 31 yr old brother is terminal, late stage 4. Does … See MorePalliative Chemo and we have a little more time. Recently as I was at Dana Farber, I bowed my head in prayer , and gave thanks for Children’s Hospital. Please know your family and Nathan are in my prayers. Miracles happen there !!!
