Dr. Edward Bove is experienced in the treatment of complex congenital heart defects.
Back in April, I attached this photo to a post I wrote about Dr. Edward Bove (the surgeon who performed our Nathan‘s surgery in 2006). I learned from Phil Eppard, that the little fella’ pictured with Dr. Bove is Phil’s son, Aidan. The photo was taken in 2005 after Aidan’s first heart surgery and has been used in “The Michigan Difference” campaign.
That’s pretty cool, but it’s not the reason I’m saying “Hooray for Aidan.” Apparently, under the excellent care of Dr. Bove, Aidan had his second heart surgery yesterday, and it went great! Aidan is out of PICU and in a regular room now.
The photo has been reproduced as a giant banner that hangs at the hospital for all to see. So Aidan is famous at the University of Michigan Medical Center. 
Update: 9-19-09 Aidan has been discharged and is on his way home. Best wishes to the Eppard family.
