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,
We took you to your new pediatrician today. His name is Dr. Roy. The reason why your Dad liked him was because he went to medical school at University of Washington. What made me like him was that he did his residency at PCMC. Then we both really liked him when we met him. We have been blessed with such wonderful doctors.

Anyways, he checked you out and listened to your lungs, looked at your ears, felt your organs...you know...the works. You don't have a fever! You don't have an ear infection! The mucus hasn't gone to your lungs! So basically you just have a mild cold. He said that he didn't think they would cancel your surgery over this because it isn't that bad. Phew! What a sigh of relief! We feel so blessed to know that you'll most likely be able to have this surgery on tuesday. That is, of course, if you don't get any worse. It seems today that you are getting better. You can actually lay on your back without crying because you can't breathe and you sleep SO MUCH BETTER! Thank heavens!

I forgot to mention that while you were at PCMC earlier this week they weighed you and you came in at 10 lbs! This means that you gained 3 oz. throughout the past week. Good girl.

We are so grateful that you seem to be feeling a little better. We are just as grateful to those of you who have been praying for our little girl. We love her so much.

We can't wait for you to be 100% healthy- heart and all! We love you little Syd!
Love, Mom
