Abstract
My brother, sister-in-law, and I walked through the double doors of the pediatric cardiovascular intensive care unit (ICU) to visit Erin*, my 5-day-old niece who had had open-heart surgery 2 days earlier. At birth, Erin had had an oxygen requirement and a murmur. Soon, an echocardiogram had revealed a ventricular septal defect and type B interrupted aortic arch, requiring transfer to a more specialized hospital for the needed surgical repair.
