Hello Haven Leigh

December 12, 2006 at 1:16 am by Uncle Justin

Haven Leigh was born on December 12, 2006 at 12:12am. She is 8 pounds 5 oz and 19 inches tall.

Mom and dad are doing well, and the doctors are carefully monitoring Haven. The doctors will now take Haven to the Riley intensive care unit and stabilize her for her first surgery this week.

The first surgery is the Norwood procedure. Learn more about it by clicking the HLHS link at the top of the blog.

Pictures will come soon.
