I enjoyed reading Little Zach's story and it sounds like we are in the same circle of doctors. It is great to know another Upstate heart mom.

I read Zach's adoption story first and...Wow ... I read Zach's adoption story first and felt blessed to have found it ... being a 28 year CHD survivor and knowing that one day adoption will most likely be my only option for a child :) I am now POSITIVE GOD has sent me your way ... I'm 28 and have ALL THREE OF ZACH'S CHD'S (can you even imagine how much of a blessing this must be for me) ... I was born with TGA, PS, and SV and at 9 received my first pacemaker and am doing wonderfully ... I haven't had too many complications from CHD and I want you to know I LIVE A NORMAL HEALTHY LIFE ... I was already crying when I read Zach's adoption story but now I'm bawling because I know Zach and I are connected in more ways than my just being able to adopt a child ... Zach and I share the same defects of our hearts to a TEE ... I want you to know he'll run, laugh, jump, play and do everything like a normal child because I DID and DO live like a normal adult ... I live on my own ... I am now on disability but that is more because of my weakned immune system (I would get cold's or flu's almost weekly when I was working over 65 hours a week ... had I not been a workaholic and worked a normal 40 it might have not happened) my heart is in great shape and I have yet to be talked to about having a transplant ... most likely I won't need one for another 15 to 20 years ... and by then who knows what technology will bring ... I have had two BT Shunts, and a Fontan and pacer but besides that I live a pretty normal life ... please know my prayers are with you, your family and of course Zach ... Wow ... God works in ways we can't even understand but we have to cherish ...
