Heart baby. Also known as: a child with a congenital heart disease or heart defect. You'll see all kinds of heart babies out there; some of them are barely holding on, some of them have had several surgeries and are thriving, and some of them got extremely fortunate in being able thrive after only one major surgery, and seemingly like nothing ever happened to their heart.

The latter is what we have prayed and hoped for.

WHEN EVERYTHING IS GREAT, BUT THEN IT ISN'T

Emaline's Story

If you know me personally, you've heard many parts of this story. It's been a year and a half, and it wasn't until recently I realized what a traumatic period of time last year was for our little family. The whole time we were going to through it, I was in survival mode and I'm still getting over it. By sharing our story, I hope to raise awareness but also show you a different side of things.
