It's been raining a bit, which makes me think to pull out my rain jacket... which makes me think of a question I had last time I was at the pediatrician: "what sort of material do they use when they fix Piper's heart?". He wasn't 100% sure (as he is not a heart specialist), but he said they've used Gortex in the past. Gortex. Like rain jackets! Kinda funny.
Here is a drawing of what is wrong with Piper's heart and what the surgery will do to make it better.
I looked it up in some of the info we've been given and apparently they use a material called Dacron. Now, I haven't really read up much on it, but it is also used in the material for sails. Again, kinda funny. If its not rain jacket material, it's spinnaker material!
Here is a video of Piper loving the rain outside... no Gortex yet, but it seems she just needs to be outside and most things in her world get better. Then she drools like crazy and sticks her entire tongue out of her face. Yeah. Raining everywhere.
Piper has been sailing twice already and loves the motion and fresh air, so having sail material to fix her heart seems just right!
ReplyDeleteI remember learning about Dacron in fashion at Kwantlen. A good material indeed!
