Happy Hearts Day!!!

I am 1 in 100 born with a congenital heart defect.

I was born with half of a heart.



I had 2 open heart surgeries and 3 cardiac catheterizations by the time I turned one.


My heart may be different than yours,

but it hopes, loves and dreams just the same.

Yes, I've had a few obstacles in my 23 months...

But I am beating CHD.

Cute, thanks for posting this week. Even though I haven't commented, I've enjoyed you little bits of wisdom. I had lots of ideas for CHD week, but none of them got put down on the blog. Other things just got in the way. You did your part for the rest of us. Thanks.
