Cardiac Cath Day
Last updated on: May 12, 2009 at 1:12 pm By Cathleen Falsani
V went in for a cardiac catherization – the (hopefully) last step before his wonderful doctors schedule his open-heart surgery – at 7:30 a.m. today. The procedure is supposed to take about three hours, and then V will be in recovery for about six hours (they go in through an artery in his groin and put him under general anesthesia) while he comes gently out of the anesthetic and the doctors keep pressure on the entry point on his upper...

Vasco’s First Catch (in America, that is)
Last updated on: May 9, 2009 at 5:40 pm By Cathleen Falsani
When he was living with his Aunt Esme on the outskirts of Blantyre, Malawi, there was a little river that ran behind their small compound of mud-and-wattle huts. He used to fish the river with a piece of string, a hook he shared with a few other boys, a stick and a worm. He said he’d roast the tiny fish over an open fire for dinner. Don’t think he’ll be eating this one, but he’s for sure a natural angler.... Read more

Vasco Takes Chicago: ‘It’s Great to be Alive!’
Last updated on: May 8, 2009 at 2:27 pm By Cathleen Falsani
In Swahili, there is a saying: Asiyefunzwa na mamae hufunzwa na ulimwengu. It means, essentially, that a child who is not taught by his mother will be taught by the world. In the Kijita language spoken in parts of Tanzania they say Omwana ni wa bhone, meaning no matter who a child’s biological parents are, its upbringing belongs to the community. And in Chichewa, the language Vasco Sylvester speaks, they say Mwana wa mzako ndi wako yemwe — your child... Read more

Journey: A river. A skyscraper. A city.
Last updated on: May 5, 2009 at 10:30 pm By Cathleen Falsani
Little man in the city of Big Shoulders …. Vasco is doing so well! He’s been seeing doctors and exploring Chicago. So far, in their myriad tests, Vasco’s doctors have not discovered anything dire (apart from his ventricular septal defect and its various effects on his cardio-pulmonary system) and our wee man’s treatment is proceeding on course. On Friday, he’ll have a cardiac catheterization to take a look at his heart from the inside before doctors decide precisely what surgical... Read more

GODSTUFFVASCO IN CHICAGO:‘HIS LAUGHTER IS MUSIC. HIS JOY IS INFECTIOUS.’ Even bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Eisenhower Expressway at rush hour can be a blessing — when you see it through the eyes of a child who has never seen it before. Thursday afternoon, on our way back to Oak Park from Navy Pier, where he had his first piece of pizza and saw a Ferris wheel for the first time, Vasco squealed with delight every time a Blue Line L...
