Anything is possible. You can be told that you have a 90-percent chance or a 50-percent chance or a 1-percent chance, but you have to believe, and you have to FIGHT

Libbis condition
When I was about 23-24 weeks pregnant we were told our baby had some heart problems. After many days of waiting and a few doctor appointments later she was diagnosed with Ebsteins anomoly, HRHS and a vsd (a hole). Ebsteins is a very fatal defect but because of the hole in her heart her little heart is working well! She has been a miracle baby thus far, the doctors even say so! She was only in Primarys for 5 days after birth, we were told 2-3 weeks at least. She underwent her first surgery, the Glen, on September 25, 2009 and did amazing. She was in the PICU for 1 day and was sent home after just 4 days! Her 2 week post op appt showed MUCH improvement to her heart function. The surgery was a success! She has an appointment on Dec 10, 2011 to see how she is doing. It is likely she will have her next surgery, the Fontan, in the Spring. She will be 3 in March. We can't worry about the future, she has proved that miracles do happen :)

Another quote
"Sometimes the pattern of life seems monotonous and discouraging. It is like climbing a mountain and after reaching the top, getting knocked back down to the bottom to climb it again; but I guess the fun is in the climbing and not the arriving!"-Marjorie Pay Hinckley
A quote
Lawrence E. Corbridge said, "Life is hard, but life is simple. Get on the path and never, ever give up. You never give up. You just keep on going. You don’t quit, and you will make it."
D&C 121:7-8
7: My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;
8: And then, if though endure it well, God shall exhalt thee on high; though shalt triumph over all thy foes.
8: And then, if though endure it well, God shall exhalt thee on high; though shalt triumph over all thy foes.
Good words from a great woman
"The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache." — Marjorie Pay Hinckley
Perserverance
PERSERVERANCE- Our greatest glory lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
The perfect poem
"It's a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels to go live on earth and be born. One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus "I don't want to leave. I like it here and I will miss you." He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that he is just going for a visit. He is still not swayed. So Jesus kneels down, and says, "How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?" The angel smiles and says, "I guess that will work." But the little angel is still scared. He asks,"Will I be okay with only half of my heart?" Jesus replies,"Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine." Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says, "When you are born, your mommy and daddy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart. Enjoy your time with your family; play and laugh everyday. And when it's time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves." Author Unknown

Hi - I met you at tumbling and remembered that Libbi was going to be having her Fontan this year so I found your blog through another heart friend... :) Thanks for sharing your surgery experience - Ammon is most likely up for his before Christmas - ugh. I love to see that Libbi is doing well!
