This is the newest addition to our family, each year the Valentino-Vu clan grows larger and stronger! This little guy is the handsome boy who belongs to our cousins Vivian and Andy in California. We wish we could have been there physically to support them through the first very challenging 4 weeks of this little guys life. We are with you in our hearts.
Drew was born with a congenital heart defect in his little heart called Pulmonary Atresia Intact Ventricular Septum (PA-IVS). This means that the pulmonary valve between his right ventricle and right pulmonary artery did not open and close properly like a normal healthy heart.
Due to this, the blood to be oxygenated by the lungs and then distributed to the rest of the body through the aorta was not sufficient on its own.
After a series of events and surgery little baby Drew is home and recovering well. He is growing stronger and bigger and we can not wait to meet the little guy!
We love you Yasutakes!! Your amazing strength and love is inspiring.
