Lillebror = Jonathan!

I was writing earlier about Dag Sondre and Tina's new baby boy. It has now been deceided that his name is Jonathan!

Jonathan has unfortunately been given a tough start on his life. It has been discovered that he has a serious heart failure, called Transposition of the Great Arteries, which needs to be operated. The referred article says: "Many infants undergo a procedure in the catheterization laboratory to "buy time" and delay the surgery until they can handle it better." This operation was done Saturday and was very successful. Jonathan is currently gathering strength for the bigger operation which will take place during this week. The prognosis for the operation is good, and the doctors at the Rikshostpitalet in Oslo are among the leading experts in the field. A successful operation will allow him to live a perfectly normal life.

We are keeping our fingers crossed for the next step, and we are both thinking a lot about our dear friends and their little boy.
