Yesterday was a big day for Trevor (and Mommy). Trevor is signed up for kindergarten! Sure he wont start until August 
but I was overwhelmed with emotion that I didn’t know I would have. Sure sending your first to school is hard, but sending your last baby to school is super hard. I could not help but feel so blessed and down right lucky that my “heart kid” is almost 5 years old, signed up for school, writing his name, swimming, trying to ride his bike and being a “normal” kid.
When Trevor was diagnosed with Truncus Arteriosus May 31, 2007 I was not sure he’d live through his first surgery and now he is a happy, sassy, funny, loving and most of all brave lil guy going to kinder! Thank you God for Trevor’s precious life <3
Here we are at the end of CHD Awareness Week and though I don’t feel like I did as much as I “usually” do to spread awareness, I had my own precious heart hero to tend to. Trevor has been having chest pain for a while on and off, but it seems to be getting worse. So since he was really complaining and upset we took him to the ER at Dell Children’s on Sunday. Everything checked out ok and we went home. We got to see snow when we left the hospital. The boys LOVED that. On Monday Dr. Shaffer, his cardiologist, wanted to see Trevor so we re-did the EKG, Echo and he talked with Trevor for quite a while about his pain. He was a champ! He did such a good job answering all the questions 
Dr. S decided we should to a cat scan, to get a look at everything much closer and clearer than the echo. Trevor was amazing! He was scared but was SO brave. The staff at DCMC have been wonderful. Good news is that there is nothing urgent or suspicious with Trevor’s heart, THANK YOU GOD! However, he will need his stent ballooned open this summer. Thank you for all the prayers and please keep them coming. I hate to see my baby in pain. :*(
Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
This is not a new video, but powerful all the same. Please watch and pass along. Together we can spread awareness of the #1 birth defect
Zate and I are so excited and just THRILLED that our “heart baby” can play soccer. He may not be very good ;o) but that’s not the point! Here are some pics of day one. Thankfully at this age he is still able to play and do anything he wants since he will self limit, I hope he is able to play and do EVERYTHING he ever wants to.
2011 was a good year, Trevor didn’t have any major issues and the minor ones were resolved easily! Praise God for our sweet & sassy miracle boy
Trevor has grown a lot, learned a lot and had lots of fun this past year. Here are pics of Trevor year. Enjoy!

We had a very nice Christmas and the boys sure did have fun! Here are some pics!
Trevor LOVES Buzz Lightyear and he and Nicholas are often “playing” Toy Story. I found these adorable pj’s that looked like Buzz & Woody were alive and running around my house! Well yesterday Trevor had his trusty Buzz pj’s on and took the Woody doll outside and was playing with him…you know throwing him into trees and rescuing him. Poor Woody even took a trip over the fence to the neighbor’s yard. Oops!
Here are some pics of the action
Trevor is in the first row, second from the left
Trevor did a great job participating in the Christmas program, Nicholas is our “nonparticipating” son Nick was always hiding behind someone else in his preschool programs. Heart parents understand that getting to see our children in a play, or school photo etc…is super fun and a milestone. I am so grateful Trevor gets to attend preschool and do parties and programs like the other kids <3
Hello all! It’s been a while since I posted and usually that is a good sign (no news is good news) but I want to make an effort to post more regularly and include “everyday life” of our little family.
FYI: Congenital Heart Defects Awareness Week is February 7-14th I always like to do something special during this week. Let me know if you are interested in participating or have any ideas to share <3

It seems that the heart world goes through cycles and everyone (that I know) does well for a while then in a flash so many are struggling. This is an emotional life and I tend to give each little heart hero part of myself. Please pray with me and keep these fighters in your heart everyday.
