Good News Pedro

... and the best one yet!
After only 4 days in the NICU recovering from open heart surgery at the age of one week old he got discharged yesterday.
Here he is strapped into his car carrier on the way home

And at home after a nice meal, relaxing with Dad and Big Brother.

Again, thanks to all of you who prayed and sent good thoughts his way.
I'm overjoyed,
Pedro

Might be a bit early, but Christmas presents don't get much better.

Happy Grandpaing.

I see a PCar in Beck's future.

Best outcome you could have gotten. And what a good-looking family

Great news. And best Christmas gift ever.

4 days post open heart surgery? Home. That little one is a fantastically quick healer. Bodes well.

I trust the family will be having an especially Merry Christmas!

Pedro, I am a pediatric cardiologist in Upstate New York.
Also a Porsche fan since 1956, PCA member since 1985, and a track rat with 2002 Boxster S.
I check the Board occasionally, and just saw this post today. Having 40 years experience in the field, I know how upsetting and confusing it can be for a parent or grandparent. Often, it helps to have someone to ask questions of and get an unbiased answer. Or just a sympathetic ear.
So, I would like to offer to be that person for you and your family. You should PM me , if you wish, and we can talk by email or phone. I'm happy to help, especially as you have been so helpful to all of us in the Porsche community.
As it says "Porsche Club - It's not just the cars, it's the people."

... for your generous offer to help.
If we have any questions we will take you up on that offer.
It certainly is "the people" that make the difference.
Happy Holidays,
Pedro

what a good looking son...
and grandson!
clearly, complex mechanical repairs are already within the compass of both of them...

Beck is Back. An Updike novel, why not!
