Emma's PDA, which normally closes after birth, never did. Therefore, in May of 2005 Emma had her first surgery to close it. They closed it with a surgical method called an intravascular coil. Basically, they enter through a vein and shoot this little coil into the heart and it ties up the hole. (now we just have to remember to tell x-ray technicians that "that metal thing in her heart" is supposed to be there...)
She wasn't too excited pre-surgery. She must have remembered the hospital...
