Angel Heart: July 2009

Friday, July 10, 2009

A little bit of our summer...

Some videos down below on our Monthly Post ;)

We are doing good! Trying to keep cool in this warm weather, and trying to keep all the monkeys entertained. We've been hanging out with friends and family. We celebrated Alex's 5th birthday, stayed @ one of the resorts from our timeshare, went to Las Vegas and stayed @ a resort there too. Angelina participated (although not very cooperatively) in a photo shoot for Loma Linda's Heart Gala.

Angelina has stayed strong and healthy. Always trying to keep up with her sister, brother and cousins.

Next week we will have our first meeting for our new support group, Hopeful Hearts @ Loma Linda's Childrens Hospital. Along with 2 other heart Mommies, we hope we can be there for other heart families.

Here's a few videos of Angelina talking and having fun at the park!

Hope you all have a good weekend!

Our Angelina

Angelina was born March 1, 2007. When she was 2 days old after almost losing her, we learned she had 3 heart defects: An Interrupted Aortic Arch, a VSD and Critical Aortic Valve Stenosis. A week and a half later it was confirmed she had Velo-Cardio-Facial Syndrome (also know as DiGeorge Syndrome and other names). At 2 weeks of age she had her first of 3 heart surgeries: Norwood Stage 1, when she was six months old she had her second: the Glenn Procedure. On December 30, 2008, she had her 3rd and hopefully her last heart sugery, the Fontan. Her recovery has been amazing! Angelina is a spunky, cheerful little girl!
