http://littlemiraclestella.blogspot.com/2011/01/we-still-here.html
Tuesday, January 18, 2011. It's been awhile since our last post, and a lot has happened since. I'll upload some pictures, but I can't write too much since I'm doing this from my phone. Stella had a great Christmas with lots of presents to open, and now we have toys all over the place! In November we went to disneyland with some of the family and Stella thought she was in heaven! We would love to take her at primary's so she can see some of her favorite nurses to show herself off. Earl? January 19, 2011 a...

Once a dream, now a miracle...: March 2009
http://littlemiraclestella.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 30, 2009. Stella's new space helmet. Wellafter all looks like Stella did qualify for a remolding helmet! As of Friday she weighs 17 lb. It is so hard to believe the progress she has made, she's our little miracle. As you'll be able to see, she was NOT happy about the head cast! She's not happy about things. Stella giving Daddy a crusty look, (I love this picture) as she sports her new helmet for the first time. At home-wating for lunch to be served. Posted by Sara and Stefano. Our beautiful...

What he was saying so delicately, was that no one wanted...

Welcome all friends and family of those young ones with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. I realized that I am one of many mothers that looks to the world wide web for more insight on something that at one time we had never heard of, but now know more about due to our children being born with "half a heart.".

So over to Primary's we went. Jack was diagnosed with the "metaneumovirus" which is a super nasty cousin of bronchitis. Where Jack is Now.
