You have to love kids who embrace sports rivalries at an early age.
A young Buckeye fan who needed a heart procedure had a very concerning question for the doctor doing his surgery.
The University of Michigan Health Blogs revealed his concerns:
As pediatric cardiologist Dr. Ronald Grifka showed 10-year-old Ivan Applin the wire-framed device that would be used to fix the holes in his heart, the Toledo fourth grader had just one burning concern.
“He asked if the Michigan doctors were going to make his heart love University of Michigan instead of Ohio State,” his mother Jennifer laughs.
No, he would wake up loving the Buckeyes just as much as he ever did, Dr. Grifka, assured him. The procedure would also mean he could better enjoy his favorite activities, like soccer, for many more years to come.
You can fix his heart, but you better not try to turn him into a Michigan fan while you are in there doc!
Gotta love young sports fans.
