Every Heart Has a Story...

Today my good friend and fellow heart mom, Stef, shown below, is hosting a linking blogging thingy. Not sure what to call it, but it is a great way for heart families to connect and share their heart journeys. It is also a great way to spread awareness of the #1 birth defect in our country - Congenital Heart Defects.

Every Heart Has a Story


Every heart is different but one thing's for sure... Every heart has a story! For us, we were "adopted" into this world of CHD's.


Just to catch you up, we began the process of adopting Zach about 2 months before he was born. We took his birth mother, Nora, to several doctors appointments, but never knew that there was a problem with his heart. Rewind to April 29, 2006...


Our family a few hours after Zach's birth --- before we knew there was a problem...

Now, in August of 2010, I am proud to announce that we are post-Fontan and Zach is doing great! He is an amazing boy who is full of life and smiles for everyone he meets. He has started preschool and is learning new things every day. We are blessed.

Prayer request for Anna Grace

I don't think I've mentioned lately that I am so thankful for this faithful community of heart families! I love how we can come together to pray, encourage, share, educate, laugh, and cry together. One of the family is in an all too familiar place right now...

Please pray for The Bentley family today while little Anna Grace is in surgery right now for her Glenn. Everything is going well so far. Please pray for Dr. Bradley and his team.

She was born at MUSC 6 months ago, had her first surgery there before coming home at 1 month old. How fresh those memories are for her mom and dad, making it all the harder to hand her over this morning. She did well (thanks to versed!).

You can follow their updates during their stay at http://baasheepbaa.blogspot.com/  Leave them a note to let them know that they are being lifted up to The Great Physician.
