Today has gotten off to a quiet start. Everyone is still sleeping. Audra slept in her nap nanny sleeper (a big piece of foam carved out for a comfy place to sleep) for a lot of the night. My husband spoiled me and didn't wake me up for her middle of the night feeding (one of the benefits of pumping and bottle feeding). Yes, he is the best ever! I love him very much!!!
On this quiet morning, I found an article that is about an 18 year old HLHS survivor that is interesting and inspiring. I love that he wants to be a pediatric cardiologist. I have often wondered if our daughters will be inspired to go in this direction. How awesome would it be for kids to have a doctor or nurse with the same rare heart condition?!? Anyway, his course of treatment has been much different than Audra's. He was six weeks old - Audra's age - when they first found his condition. It is amazing that he survived that long without any intervention! He is strong! And they travel to UofM for care. I would guess that Dr. Bove is his surgeon. Here is the link (you have to copy and paste as I cannot make it clickable in my mobile app):

Have a good one!
