#HeartMonth day 7: so I accidentally skipped the challenge for day 6 and posted the day 7 challenge, so this is actually the day 6 challenge. Ellie was born on 12/4/13. This photo is one of the very few I have of her before any surgeries- when her heart was at its most broken and in desperate need of intervention. When I look at it- it almost looks like there is nothing wrong at all. I still feel that way, sometimes- that if you just look at Ellie, you would have no idea anything was wrong. Her scar tells the true story, but honestly, she is still perfect despite her imperfect heart. These children and adults are so much more than their #CHD. They are#HeartWarriors and so much more. #CHDAware
