I am doing it. I am starting the blog that has been in my head for a few weeks now. This blog is the story of my daughter, Sydney and how we, as a family cope with her heart problems. Sydney has a heart defect that will most likely require open-heart surgery. This will be about her progress, her struggles, mine and Jordan's struggles as we try to help her, what her days are like, and most importantly-the miracles, big or small, that occur in our daily life.I believe that my daughter was born with this heart defect for a reason. We are supposed to learn from this experience so I am using this blog as a way to write my thoughts, fears, worries, and joys that come as we help our daughter heal. There are days when I feel like I have so many different emotions that I am going to explode and fortunately a blog will keep me from doing that! Lucky for you. You are welcome to read this blog even if I've never met you! Feel free to make comments, tell your own story, laugh, judge me on my mothering, or to just cry. Whichever suits you best for whatever reason is fine with me! Enjoy the read...

Dear Sydney,
Sorry I didn't tell you more about your day yesterday. We were all so tired last night that we just conked right out without me even thinking about updating your blog.
In general, you are doing good. Your appetite is still down although tonight you've been very hungry. I hope this keeps going! You and I had a very productive day. We walked over to the bank to deposit some checks, then to the post office, and then we went to the park. While we were at the park we found a little boy who was no older than 1 1/2 years and he was wandering the park all alone. I looked around and saw no moms nearby. Who did this boy belong to? So we walked around the park asking mom after mom if this was their son and no one recoginzed him. I kept thinking about you and how I would feel if I had lost you. I would be so panicked and would hope that someone would take care of you while I tried to find you. So, I decided that we would just stick with the boy until his mom found him. I don't know how much time went by until I turned around and saw a mom pull up on her bike and yell out her son's name. I asked her if this was her son and she said yes! She swept him up and gave him a big hug. I was relieved that she finally found him. I hope that is something I never have to experience with you.
Your Dad, you, and I played a few rounds of croquet tonight. For Father's Day we gave your Dad a gift card to Big 5 Sporting Goods and he chose to buy a croquet set. Such a good idea! We had fun playing and you enjoyed being outside...even though you slept the whole time. :)
We scheduled your next Dr's appointment with the cardiologist. You see her again on July 20. We called about scheduling your surgery but the scheduling office hasn't received your referral for surgery yet so we have to wait a few more days.
You are such a joy and bring so much love to our family. We love you!
Love forever, Mom
