Thank you.
Alright.
Alright, buddy.
You can sit up, get dressed,
and go wait in the waiting room,
- how does that sound?
- Good, thank you.
Thank you.
Mr and Mrs Yi,
we're ready to see you now.
OK, see, this is where
blood flows out, like a door.
Open, close, open, close.
You see how close the hole is here,
now, this is why the
California doctor wanted
to wait till he's bit
older before surgery.
But,
and are you ready?
It looks like the hole is getting smaller.
What?
It's still there.
But in comparing measurements,
it's a significant improvement.
Right? This means,
we can rule out surgery.
And we can see, if the
hole close up on its own.
This is a very good news.
Sounds, they... got louder.
Yes, sometimes as the hole
gets smaller, the sound gets louder.
Loud is good.
Are we happy?
Yes. I'm happy.
Thank you.
Must be those Arc water.
Whatever it is you're
doing, don't change a thing.
Hey, what are these?
I'm guessing some kind of
Or maybe it's seeds.
It kind of looks like peanuts.
Kind of looks like
peanuts chopped in half.
Yeah.
Yeah, mark it.
Might be where it is.
David.
