Our friends Dan and Kerry and their son Ryan are finally home! Ryan William Corriveau (7 lbs. 6 oz.) was born July 10th at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). Ryan has a rare heart defect (HLHS) that was diagnosed before he was even born. He has undergone the first of three surgeries to repair his heart and his journey home has been delayed by infections and other complications. Dan and Kerry have been amazing keeping all of us updated through email and digital photos during their stay at CHOP, and I cannot tell you how relieved I was to receive the news tonight that Ryan is now at home.
Sadly, I have several friends and friends of friends with children who have serious health conditions. All of them inspire me with their strength and ability to celebrate the joy in their lives instead of dwelling on the difficult days.
