I will be praying. CHD's are close to my heart. I was born with one, ASD with mitral valve prolapse. I had open-heart surgery in 1984 (age 5) and had another repair 3 months ago (age 30). I will be checking back to see how she is doing.
ReplyDeleteI blogged to help spread the word about CHD. I have had Bentley's button for a while now and know that some of my friends are praying for her. You don't need to enter me because I would have nothing to do with the burp cloths but do know we are thinking of and praying for you guys daily!

I will start praying for sweet Bentley. Just found out about her thru The Pifer's blog. I had a son in 2006 who was also diagnosed with a CHD, Hypoplastic Heart is what it was called. He also developed Cystic Hygroma because of his heart defect. Unfortunately he was given a zero survival rate and was stillborn at 25 weeks. The 3 year anniversary of his birth and death just passed March 26, and it is still hard. You are so blessed with your daughter and I will most definately be a prayer warrior on her behalf! I have since had another child who just turned 2 and am now expecting again...God is amazing...He traveled so far down a path I thought I could never come back from...but as always He knew my strength and has carried me every step of the way. Sorry this got a little long...by the way, I am posting about your website on my blog. I don't know how to link back to you, but I am putting Bentley's link on my page. Stay strong and I pray for God's arms to wrap you tightly.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know that I figured out how to link back to your blog...YAY!

Happy Wednesday Bentley! I just love your bracelets and you look so adorable playing with all of them!
ReplyDeleteEver since I found your blog I put a button to your blog on my blog. I think CHD awareness is fantastic! I just love the burp rags and have been trying to have my grandma or mothers show me how to sew, I want to make them too. I even asked my husband for a sewing machine for my birthday!
I blogged about your giveaway on my blog. If just one more person learns about CHD it will be a joyous thing!

ReplyDeleteWow! I just read part of this on T Sharee's Blog. I want to let you know that you guys are in my family's prayers. We have a nephew that has had 3 open heart surgeries. Jordan is going to be in 6th grade this year and doing great. He wasn't suppose to make it as far in life as he has now. We look at him as our family's miracle child. God is amazing and can do amazing things. God Bless you and your family. We will be praying for you.
