| Christina, 5 years. This is her 4th heart surgery. |
 |
| Snow! It snowed 2 inches last night. It's slushy and gross, though. The weather is very Ohio. |
 |

 |

 |
| Yum! |
 |
| Yum, yum. Vladimir's (the Anesthesiologist) wife (also an Anesthesiologist) made us food. |
 |
| Stella. Day 1's 1st case. Still intubated. She's doing better. Hopefully she will get the tube out today. |

 |
| This is the building we are staying in. #33 on the 8th floor. It's very nice. |
 |
| This is the street in front. Those are light rail wires. Drivers are crazy! |
 |
| Lori's and my bedroom. It's king size which takes the sting out of sharing. |

| There's a little Russian Orthodox chapel in front of the hospital. |
 |
| Siblings playing in the hallway. |
 |
| Stairs. The ICU is on the 6th floor. The OR is on the 8th. Whew. |
 |
| The ORs have a gallery we can watch the operations from. The guy tying his hat is Chris Gilbert, a Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon from Memphis. He's very kind. |
 |

| Nurses working in the ICU. They are very good here. |
