We Have Winners!!!

The grandmas, wouldn't you know, along with Bridget correctly guessed the use of the mystery white item in the post below. Grandma M and Bridget guessed in person while Grandma D's guess in the comment section was exactly right. The white item is the cloth used to repair the hole in Erin's heart. It is made of waterproof Gortex...the same material that is used to make many winter jackets or rain gear! During the surgery, the surgeon cut a piece the size of the hole in Erin's heart, stitched it in for the repair and then gave us the little left-over "souvenir". It is a reminder to us of Erin's successful heart repair and of the God-given talent of the surgeon who held her heart in his hands two years ago today. Thank you God!

Happy Heart Day Erin! Your heart sure is sweet!
