Danielle Rose Magee has had quite a time since her wonderful arrival. She has been in the hospital four times since birth. The first time was due to Jaundice and a Heart Murmur. The second time was due to breathing difficulties. The third time was due to a fever. The last time was due to surgery.

During her first hospital visit, we found that she has a VSD, which stands for Ventricle Septum Disorder (I think.) It’s a technical term for a hole in her heart. Since then the hole has almost completely closed. It is now only detectable by echocardiogram.
