My little brother Peter is going to Milwaukee Children's Hospital tomorrow for his second open heart surgery. It will take 4-6 hours to repair his heart, meanwhile he'll be on a heart and lung bypass machine. Below is a simple diagram of the heart. I believe they are fixing areas in his aorta and the valve next to it.
Peter is most excited about the room service. He jokes that he's going to push the button every two minutes. He also is excited to play X-Box (specifically their Star Wars games), have his own TV, access to a computer, great cafeteria food, and of course receive lots of attention. He also tells my mom how he won't have to do so much work around the house...
Please keep him in your prayers and pray for the doctors as well!
