I.ittlo Andrew (“Andy") Dono
; hoe, who was bom at St. An
! thony's hospital in O'Neill on
January 30, 1957, was a "blue”
j baby at birth.
After being advised to consult
n specialist in Omaha, his par
| »nts, Mr. and Mrs James
I "Jim") Donohoe, were told that
little Andy had a hole in a com
partment in his heart and the
tube leading from his heart to his
1 lungs had disorder.
His blood wasn’t getting enough
oxygen, eonsequenly the blue
color, the doctors explained.
The specialist suggested that
the Donohoes wait about a year
for a checkup to determine if
surgery could and should he per
formed at that time. Smiling
Andy is due in Omaha this month
the month designated as heart
month.
He reported to St. Joseph’s hos
pital the first time and will pro
bably he sent there again. A new
machine for measuring heart per
formance is available there.
Andy has two sisters and a
brother. He weighs about 18
pounds. He sort of "takes care
of himself” his parents explain,
when it comes to the matter of
getting tired. He seems to know
his limitations and sits and rests
before he wears himself out.
The name Andrew is acquired
from his great-grandfather, Andy
Clark of O’Neill, former Holt
county supervisor and board
chairman. Mr. Clark's grand
daughter, the former Dorothy
Clark, is little Andy’s mother.
