Today was the first full day with just the three of us. Amanda's parents left yesterday, after helping us out for 10 days. Having family around has been great! Jonas had his last big medical appointment on Monday at Children's Hospital for his VSD. After 3 and a half long hours involving 2 consultations with the Cardiologist, an Echo and an ECG, we received really good news! Although Jonas has a VSD, it is very minor and should close up within the next few months or so. He'll need a follow-up appointment with Children's in one year to confirm that the gap has closed. It's so nice to be done with what seems like a million Dr's appointments and we can now just enjoy eachother and be a family!

Hi! My name is Jonas Carter Ribeiro and my parents welcomed me into the world on July 10, 2008 at 1:03 AM at Women's and Children's Hospital in Vancouver, BC! I'm nice and light, weighing 6lbs 13oz and 50 cm long. The Drs and Nurses at the hospital thought I was so cute they wanted me to stay for 10 days to give me medicine to make my blood healthy. It was a bit hard for my Mommy and Daddy but they stayed with me for 17 hours everyday! My Mommy and Daddy have so many family and friends that love them and me, so we always had visitors while I was at the hospital. I was finally able to come home on July 19th. I love having company, call my Mommy and Daddy and arrange a play date with me!
