Oh that is wonderful news!

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Great news. That is one lucky baby and thankful that her mother had a keen eye and spotted the blueish feet. love a happy ending

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Here's the update:

Hi everyone!

The doctor just came out and said the surgery went well. They just finished up putting the stitches in. They found that his stomach was in his chest cavity so they moved it back to the proper place and also closed the hole in his abdomen. His lung was moderately sized and fully developed. The doctor said it will probably never be quite as developed as the other lung, but he should have no difficulties in life and it should not impact him in any way. We are just waiting for him to wake up from the anesthesia now and then we can see him.

Thank you everyone for your prayers and well wishes.

Oh what a relief my friend...... I so hope you sleep soundly tonite knowing your babe is safe...

I'm so happy to hear this. I'm so glad he's going to be ok.

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard
