Hey faithful readers!
This blog is dedicated to my daughter, Emma Kate, and all she encounters on her "heart journey."
For those of you who are new to our story, here's a short intro.
Emma Kate was born in August of 2008 with a very special heart. When I was pregnant with her, she was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS), and it changed our family.
Emma Kate has had two open-heart surgeries, one at three days old (Norwood operation), the second at five months (Glenn operation). After her Glenn, she faced some more challenges. She developed a chylous pleural effusion on her right lung and drained lots of fluid for several weeks (chylothorax). This problem was resolved with yet another surgery: a thoracic duct ligation and pleurodesis.
She is now four years old and thriving! God has blessed us so tremendously through Emma Kate's life. Daily he reveals His mercy to us. Every day we cling to the promise that He will sustain and provide for us. We know that God can do anything and we have seen Him work miracles in our lives.
Thanks for keeping up with us!
