When you’re two years old, all you want to do is sit around and play with colorful, cool toys - even AFTER surgery. Kamila is recovering extremely well after her open-heart surgery. We are so glad HeartGift was able to step in and help this sweet girl!

On this day in 1944, Dr. Alfred Blalock, Dr. Helen Taussig, and surgical technician Vivien Thomas performed the first-ever surgery to treat the #CHD, Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). The surgery became known as the BTT shunt, honoring the medical staff.

Tulane LB Tyler Grubbs' mother Melissa is a former star volleyball player and now a great volleyball coach (and someone I've know since high school 🤯)... So I asked him about his mom after the Green Wave's big win Friday over UTSA. His answer, great stuff!!!

@NOLAHistoryGuy One Shell Square FOREVER !

Do you call the building, "The Hancock-Whitney Building," or do you call it "One Shell Square?"

Reading a book about #NOLA and this sentence made me laugh out loud: “New Orleans, it was often observed, was the first American metropolis to build an opera house, but the last to build a sewerage system.”

The coldest spot in the universe is definitely and without question the tile floor of a raised house in New Orleans in the winter.

#WarriorWednesday @shaunwhite was born with Tetralogy of Fallot (#TOF) and had multiple open heart surgeries. He is set to compete in his fifth Winter Olympic Games this year! ❤ GOOD LUCK Shaun and thank you for being an inspiration to Heart Warriors everywhere 💕😍 @NBCOlympics

On this day in 1944 at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. Alfred Blalock, Dr. Helen Taussig, and Surgical Technician Vivien Thomas performed the first surgery to treat tetralogy of Fallot. Groundbreaking at its time, the procedure came to be known as the Blalock-Thomas-Taussig Shunt.❤️

Me: Thank you, Creole Jesus. Creole Jesus sitting on the folding chair next to the ice chest smoking a cigarette: Fa sho, fa sho, fa sho…

Teachers: THANK YOU for having our kids make ornaments, it genuinely makes my heart so happy, I just maaayyy not want them front-and-center 😂🖤

good night 🖤

It takes 30 minutes for the city to clean up after a Mardi Gras parade. Don’t let the Mayor fool you into thinking that picking up trash is complicated.

UPDATE: Power crews from ⁦@EntergyNOLA⁩ in #Nola Lakeview at 11:20am Thursday. No power yet, hopefully soon. 🙏⁦@wdsu⁩
