Wow! Now THAT’S a pedigree!

My Johnny’s TOF had a complete repair in August of 98. He was 6 months old, and one of the youngest to undergo the surgery as a non-emergent patient. Today repair of infants is commonplace.

He came through with flying colors and is now a 6’2” 14-year-old.

Sadly, though, he had a stroke before the sugery and has suffered some brain damage because of it. But other than that, he is in excellent health!

Muir, my I ask if your brother is still living? How is his health today? (Please ignore the question if it is too personal.)

Best to you,

My brother is very much alive and well and is about to turn 70. He had follow up surgery at Yale New Haven hospital in 1961 and felt so well he tried to join the Marines. They had obvious concerns. I’m 6’1” and 190 lbs. but my “big” brother is only 5’9” and about 120 lbs. He is a very healthy and vital man still running his own business. I admire him greatly.
