Baby Dexter doing well but stuck in Seattle due to insurance issue
Currently the most asked question about Baby Dex- "is he back from Seattle yet?" Unfortunately the answer is still no. Dexter was flown out to Seattle the beginning of February to have surgery to repair the PDA (hole in his heart). Surgery took place on Feb. 6 and went well, with the hole being closed and Dexter recovering in Seattle Children's Hospital.
