Happy Belated Down Syndrome Awareness Month
11 months ago
This is the story of Lucy, delivered 10 weeks premature, weighing only 2lbs. She was born with Downs Syndrome and multiple congenital heart defects, spending 75 days in the NICU. She has underwent two open heart surgeries in August 2009 and June 2010 to repair her Atrioventricular (AV) Canal Defect, Ventricular septal defect, double outlet right ventricle, mitral valve and extra superior vena cava. We hope she touches your heart as much as she has touched ours.

I just have to comment after following Lucy's story from the very start. I actually learned of her early delivery via Twitter, and just fell in love.

I've been married a few years, am expecting a baby in August and grew up with a special needs sister. Your story and pictures just touch my heart and Lucy's fashion sense, red hair and beautiful eyes are amazing.
Just wanted to say thanks for sharing. Your family is very inspiring. -Patty Carlson, St. Cloud, MN
