2nd Day at TCH

     This week at my internship was very interesting. I successfully didn't get lost (which I was quite worried about), and I got to watch the first couple hours of a very interesting operation. They were trying to balloon the pulmonary veins in a little kid so that his blood pressure around his lungs would be normal. They explained to me that these veins are very stubborn and do not stay open for long, so the child had had a lot of operations before. I was able to watch for a long time and ask a lot of questions, which was really great. It was sad to learn that this child had had so many operations already and that he would have to have many more during his lifetime, but it was a very interesting operation to learn about, and it was a great second day.
