![]() Aiden, born 2009![]() He was quickly transferred to Children's Hospital Boston and surgery was scheduled to repair the COA. It was difficult to see our sweet baby with tubes and wires connected everywhere and to hear him cry from hunger. I just wanted to hold him and keep him safe. Aiden's COA repair was performed at 1 week old by Dr. Emani. Time ticked by so slowly, but finally he was out and the surgery was a success. I was so surprised how quickly Aiden healed after surgery and just 3 days later we were able to take him home where he met his older brother for the first time. Aiden is now a very active, demanding and lovable 2 year old. We have been told he may need further surgery as an adult, but for now we just feel blessed that he is healthy.
