G is for Grunsted...and now, Gortex

Surgery is over and Bubs did great! We found out that they only did an atrial pacemaker wire because that is the one that helps with low heart rate (which he has). The ventricle wire does something else which I don't understand and don't care because Bubs doesn't need it :)

The surgeon gave us a piece of the Gortex that was used to make the Fontan. This is the artificial material used to divert blood from his heart and send it directly to his lungs. Some pictures are below.


P.S. Valerie also does the pictures. Go Team Grunsted-Pugata!
