rin rin

this sweet girl is 11 months old and has tetralogy of fallot.

according to wiki, this is a congenital heart defect which is classically understood to involve four anatomical abnormalities (although only three of them are always present). It is the most common cyanotic heart defect, representing 55-70%, and the most common cause of blue baby syndrome.

Rin is having surgery on wednesday morning (in japan so that would tuesday night for us) to correct the problem. please pray that everything goes smoothly and that she can be back home as soon as possible.

here are a few more pictures just because she's so cute. :)
