On Father’s Day, my cousin Anna and her father’s side of the family Welcomed Anna’s new baby brother Ben into the world.  He arrived earlier then scheduled but still weighed in at 8lbs. 4oz.  Ben was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and as of 7:30am today he began undergoing his first open heart surgery which is scheduled to last until somewhere between 3-5pm.  I wanted to share some pictures of Ben with you and encourage you to send your thoughts and prayers to the Meert/Willems Family.

I will post an update on Ben once I hear from Anna.
