First I would like to say that I am ...Hello Misty . First I would like to say that I am very sorry for the loss of your precious boy Kayden. I found your blog by accident or so I thought but after spending a few minutes looking through it and reading it I believe there is more to it than that. We have alot in common..we are close in age..I'm 25. We both have four children except I have one boy and three girls. Evan is my oldest. He will be six on 12/15. He was born in 2005. Carissa is my oldest daughter. She was born 02/15/2007. Carissa is my CHD warrior. She was diagnosed at one month old with a large vsd of the lower two chambers of the heart , non compaction and cardiomyopathy. She has five chds total and at four months old had her first open heart surgery to repair the large hole. The surgery left her on an ecmo machine because her heart wouldn't restart. Two days later they finally were able to get her heart to restart even though the entire time they told us it wasnt possible and to prepare for the worst. She had a pacemaker put it around the same time she came off ecmo....I read your most recent post and I completely agree with you. People don't know what we go through on a day to day basis unless they are going through it themselves. We lost a home to foreclosure because our daughters life was more important to us than that home. Its a long story...I wouldn't wish this on anyone but I do wish they could atleast understand. I am writing this because I want to make a difference and I don't want these children forgotten. I want to help you with Kayden's toy drive for the hospital. I don't want to donate just acouple toys , I want to get my entire area involved. I think its a wonderful idea and I want to help. If you want my help let me know...in the meantime I will be praying for you and your family.Unqualifiedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092898469128425973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1425377325640851888.post-33729993208667206122011-02-20T15:20:20.406-08:002011-02-20T15:20:20.406-08:00What a beautiful fighter you've got there.
