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!

This is the best family picture you guys have taken, yet! Haha.
I seriously love this picture and their costumes. Callie's face is what puts this pic over the top for me!
Oh my goodness - ADorable!!! Love this!

Hi, I'm a complete stranger, but yesterday my husband and I found out our son (due April 4) has HLHS and of course we immediately googled it. We are delighted to have found your blog--what hope it gives us! Thank you for sharing your story.
