    Melissa,

    My name is Kathy. I am mom to two wonderful boys Aidan and Jacob. Jacob is 9 months old and has HLHS. I also found out when I was 20 weeks pregnant and know how scary the unknowns are. Jacob had a rough start but these kids are so strong and now he is thriving. He has had 2 out of 3 of the surgeries and he is just like any other 9 month old learning to crawl, laughing and enjoying life. He is developing normally and weighs more than kids without a heart defect. Life as a heart mom is a roller coaster full of ups and downs but it is so worth it.

    Feel free to email me anytime at thebakertrio@gmail.com. I started writing Jacob's blog right when I found out he had HLHS. I have everything on there that he went through if you want to read his journey. He also had a intact septum so that was why he was so sick at first but again he is a fighter and is doing great now.

    Hang in there. Jake's blog is jacobsspecialheart.blogspot.com

    Heart hugs,
    Kathy

    Melissa,

    I, too, have an HLHS heart warrior (as we call them.) She is 8 months old and has undergone 2 out of the 3 required surgeries. She is happy and thriving. Just like any baby, she drives me batty sometimes, but she's a miracle and the strongest little girl I know. I started blogging in February 2010, a few months after her diagnosis (at 19 weeks gestation.) Her name is Zoe. Feel free to visit our family blog and see pictures of Zoe - her smile will capture your heart! This heart community is amazing and we're all one big family offering never-ending support.

    Heart hugs,
    Stacey
