Joshua had his Glenn, as well as his tricuspid valve repaired. How grateful we are today that we're on this side of that hurdle. How grateful we are to the ultrasound tech who first noticed Joshua's sick heart. How grateful we are that he was born in a top-notch hospital that was fully prepared and anticipating his arrival. How grateful we are that he's lived 2 very full, happy years of life!
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!

Friends with heart

oh man, love that little sugar...your right, it is great to be on the other side of the Glenn. he has come so far! keep up the good work, bud!
Seriously, what a difference that Glenn made. Sometimes that two years makes him seem so far away from all his struggles. He's a fighter, that's for sure.
He is such an AMAZING little boy! I am so happy that you are seeing brighter days. Carson is always talking about his special friend Josh.
Such a cutie, even back then. I hope he has been feeling better!
Keri- he calls Carson "my buddy"...ha ha!
Gina- The cough is really bad right now, but Dr. R gave him a 'once over' when we dropped off his basket...he said he was a-o-k!
