Chapter VI: Halloween

I dressed up for Halloween today. Mommy found some exciting new clothings and we tried them on. I had a blast! Can't wait for next year! Look at me in my purple Tuxedo parts. Aren't they swell? Well the next big thing on my radar is Thanksgiving. I hear there's a turkey in the works. Mmh, I've never heard of turkey. Sounds delicious

Chapter V: Surge!

Little Burrito spent 7 hours with the Medicine Man. The Truncus was finally gone! For now, all little Burrito had to do was recover. To be continued...

Chapter IV: 24 Hours Until the Knife

Little Burrito is now 24 hours away from the knife. He's rather unaware of his circumstances. What he knows is that he is at home, as comfortable as he can be considering the circumstances. His little body is adjusting to the demands of Truncus and his little spirit is as resolved as ever. Little Burrito had a bath today. He really enjoys the bath. Perhaps it reminds him of swimming in the primordial seas. Water is comforting to him. That is good news, and perhaps his name will be changed to Clean Burrito. For that is what he is at the moment. On Friday, Little Burrito met the magic medicine man who was going to rearrange his little heart vessels. The medicine man explained all that he would do, in detail, step-by-step. How he would close the repair the VSD. And then disconnect the Pulmonary Arteries. And then connect the conduit to the right ventricle and then attach the Pulmonary Arteries to the conduit. Here's a picture:
It was all rather amazing, and Little Burrito was so confident in medicine man's ability, that he slept through it all. Good night.

Chapter III: Under the Tutelage of a Cardiologist

"He's doing quite well," said the Cardiologist. With those words, Little Burrito's condition was categorized, summarized, actualized, internalized, neutralized, and specialized. Needless to say, Little Burrito was mesmerized by all of the happenings around him. Earlier that day, Little Burrito and his parents checked in at the Cardiologist's office, on the north side of town, next to a rather large hospital building. On the television played a movie entitled Stuart Little, all about the exciting adventures of a little mouse. Pediatric patients were playing a wild game of Furniture Jumping while their parents were quickly losing patience. Little Burrito appeared not to be fond of the commotion. Or perhaps it was the car seat, because soon, he became restless, and Dainty-Beautiful Burrita had to take him outside in the hallway, where things were much calmer. Soon enough, Little Burrito's name was called and he was admitted. As usual, he received the usual weights and measures routine, determining that he was over 8 pounds, and had grown 5 centimeters. He was then placed on the examination table where he patiently waited for the Cardiologist. Above the examination table there hung a mobile of tropical fish. All were the same blueish, blackish, with big fins, except for one little red guy in the middle. Little Burrito's eyes were fixed to the dancing fish, even though he didn't even know what fish were. He was learning, though. And for now he was learning that fish are air-breathing creatures that hang from strings connected to the ceiling. He had also learned in the waiting room that both cats and mice talk and plot against eachother. With that, the Cardiologist entered and pronounced his fate with the "doing well" comment. He quietly listened to Little Burrito's heart and heard his valves clicking away. He then sent Little Burrito to another room where he received his third Echocardiogram. All throughout the exam, Little Burrito was so excited about the picture of his heart dancing on the screen that he kept getting his fingers stuck in the goop that accompanies the wand of insight. The wand of insight looked closely at his little Truncus heart and noted that his little Truncal valve was working quite well. Well enough to be a perfectly normal and healthy Aortic valve after the heart rearrangement. Before he left the office, Little Burrito received one more prescription and with that he was on his way back home. The Cardiologist wished him the best, and let Little Burrito's parents know that he would be praying for him, because the next time he would be visiting with the Little Burrito, his heart will be rearranged. How exciting!
