Heart Awareness Week February 7th to 14th

This friday the 3rd in wear red day in support of heart awareness.  I am working with Kerringtons Heart, www.kerringtonsheart.org in order to spread awareness about Congenital Heart Defects (CHD).  Any business that would like to participate to spread the awareness can contact myself.  It consist of your customers purchasing a heart for $1.00, your cost is nothing all you have to do is display them in your windows, counter, or ect.  All you have to do is let me know if you would like to participate and the amount of hearts you think you may need.  We would love to have all the support we can get for this wonderful cause.  This is something dear to my heart and I am working in honor of my daughter Emma Grace. 


Every 15 min a baby is born with a congenital heart defect, this is approximately 1 in every 100 babies born . 4,000 of them will not live to celebrate their 1st Birthday . I pray and hope just like every other parent who has a child born with a congenital heart defect that more awareness comes soon . Their are no cures only repairs or broken hearts !

IF YOU DON'T KNOW SOMEONE WITH A CONGENITAL HEART DEFECT, JUST WAIT.... YOU WILL.... MORE THAN 1 IN EVERY 100 BABIES BORN HAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEIR HEARTS... THERE ARE 35 KNOWN TYPES OF C.H.D..... C.H.D' S ARE THE #1 BIRTH DEFECT, AND THE #1 CAUSE OF DEATH FROM A BIRTH DEFECT...

CHD'S KILL TWICE AS MANY CHILDREN EVERY YEAR AS ALL CHILDHOOD CANCERS COMBINED!!!  C.H.D'S Can affect any family.
I proudly wear this ribbon in support of CHD awareness!

Grief

GRIEF :    Keen mental suffering or distress over affliction or loss; sharp sorrow; painful regret. a cause or occasion of keen distress or sorrow.     This was my first tattoo in memory of my daughter Emma Grace. I also included my other two babies, Kailey's is pink, Easton's is blue and Emma's is purple with a halo. The phrase "Loving Emma Grace" to always remember her and remind me that she is always with me! This is also their birth order. Kailey, Emma, then Easton was born a few seconds after Emma in the same minute, 8:02 am 2/4/10.   This one I got to bring awareness to the terrible disease that took my daughters life.  This is the ribbon for CHD-Congenital Heart Defect,  She was born with Tetralogy of Fallot and had complications from her first Open Heart Surgery.  I can now explain to people and bring more awareness to this terrible disease because most people do not know what this ribbon s...

  "Loving Emma Grace" Forever and Always to be Remembered 2/4/10 to 7/11/11 Today is a difficult day for myself as a "Heart Mom"  see one year ago today on May 3rd, 2011 we had to do one of the hardest things for a parent to do. On this day one year ago our lives were changed FOREVER, they will never be the same!  We had to hand our precious daughter to the surgeons who would be doing her Open Heart Surgery repair.  I was absolutely terrified and apprehensive about just handing her over to some unfamiliar face to her and not knowing the outcome.  Even though both of our families and Pastor of our church spent the seven hours it took to make the repairs there with us supporting us and her. It was the most terrifying day I've ever had to face.  Before she was called back to pre-op we spent our time in the waiting room with our Pastor and his daughter who had come to support us. Once we got back to pre-op it was overwhelming emotions and thoughts of ...
