Roy - June 5th arrival




Roy arrived via C-section weighing 4kgs at 8.45am on June 5th.
He is a young brother for Sheena, our 2 and a half yo daughter.

Why Roy? Well, his Irish cousins already had some of the other good names.
Here is some info on the name Roy:
The boy's name Roy \roy\ is pronounced roy. It is of Irish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "red".

Unfortunately, a heart murmur was detected after a few days. It was diagnosed as a moderate to medium VSD and some smaller ones. This is the most common congenital heart condition and often causes no issues as it can fix itself over time. He was doing fine while at the maternity hospital. Roy was discharged with a plan to follow up in the next few weeks as an outpatient, expecting that the holes would spontaneously close.
