What Valentine's Day means to us at the Heart Center
This Tuesday was the annual celebration of our miracle heart kids. This party is not just your ordinary Valentine’s Day party, but is a way for us to be able to celebrate our successes at the Heart Center and honor all of our patients who have fought and conquered the battle against heart defects. To be able to see these kids running around, laughing and playing, who were once struggling with life-threatening conditions, is a blessing that words alone cannot express. The families look forward to celebrating together with the doctors and nurses who have been their support system since the moment they heard the devastating news that their child has a heart defect. The continual appreciation and gratitude of our heart families is an encouragement to our doctors to know that they did a job well done. What a special day to celebrate the little miracles right here in our very own backyard.

I guess it’s a sign of the times, but most of the items he is requesting this year are technological in nature and are at least $50.00. Here’s the kicker: He’s only seven. I figured I’d have a few more years before the list started to contain gadgets like laptops and ipods, but it looks like I was wrong.
