We have created this blog to tell Joshua's story. Josh was born in 2007 with a congenital heart defect, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS - only half of his heart developed) & has undergone 3 open heart surgeries, pacemaker placement as well as surgery to repair his paralyzed diaphragm. He had a very rough beginning, and has hit some bumps along the way but amazes us every day with his ability to live a very active life. Follow us as we try to keep up with him!

Your little Joshua is sooo sweet (just like those strawberries!) I've checked out your blog for a while now and figured I should say hello and introduce ourselves (found your blog through Owen's and it's one of my favs to check on).
Congratulations on your upcoming baby boy...that's so exciting and encouraging for us. After having a baby with a special heart, it's nerve-wracking to have another baby! Now that we know what can go wrong...
I'm so glad that Joshua is doing great! You have a beautiful family too :) Take care!!!
Love,
Katie (mom to Maddie, HRHS)

Josh and Callie are such cuties. Makes me want to have some strawberries.
