"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee..." Jeremiah 1:5 "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are they works; and that my soul knoweth right well." Ps. 139:14 Psalm 139- God knows our path, and He will guide us.

Mitchell's Heart
This is our site for James Mitchell born May 20, 2009. Mitchell has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). The left side of his heart failed to develop properly. He has had 2 of the 3 required heart surgeries. (The Norwood and the Glenn). The Fontan will be the next surgery- as he grows, he will require additional passive blood flow to his lungs for adequate oxygenated blood for his body. We anticipate this surgery around age 3. Thank you for your interest and support of our adventure.

How awesome that your girls got to see him! Wow! I'd encourage you to be thankful for the fact that this technology didn't even exist, only 20 years ago. Perhaps you have heard many of the same warnings, but I'll share them in case you haven't. These are the two pieces of advice that stuck out to us more than any other:
1. Actively nurture your marriage. Circumstances likes these will either break or strengthen a marriage. I don't know how people do this without the peace of knowing Christ.
2. Make time for yourselves. That hospital is extremely expensive because they're absolutely the best babysitters in the world. Let them take care of Mitchell.
While the blog has been an amazingly therapeutic outlet for us, don't forget that it's OK to have quiet down time, too. There will be times when you just don't want to talk to anyone. This is normal and healthy. Grab a movie, and fall asleep on the couch together.
We continue to pray for you from across the country. Praise God for the Internet making the whole, wide world a much smaller place.
