Update on the bad news.

OHSU ran tests to figure out what is going on with my heart, turns out my heart issues are very rare forms of Aortic Atresia/Ventricular Septal Defect and they want to wait a few days so they can run some tests to make sure there is nothing else wrong and also to make a good map of my heart. My Mom and Dad were told that I was going to be up here for a whole month.

I guess there may be three operations; one soon which will take part of my lung to fix the Aortic Atresia, leaving a shunt in my lung, one in 6mos to check on the shunt, and if everything goes right I may not need the third operation in 5 years.
