At our 20 week ultrasound, the doctors found that Eleanor had a congenital heart defect called an Atrial Ventricular Septal Defect (AVSD).  The large holes and missing wall in her heart required surgery at 8 months.  She continues to go for monitoring twice a year, which is why ongoing development is so important!  Research, medication, and home care gave us excellent outcomes and prognosis.  This could not happen without incredible minds and fundraising opportunities for education and medical advances.  Donating to places such as the American Heart Association can help!

Currently, our family is participating in Eleanor and Lucy's school’s Kids Heart Challenge and raising funds to help everyone have healthy hearts. Along with this, we are starting a team for the Heart Walk. 

Stay tuned for some great information and please feel free to donate to the cause!

Thank you!
