Did you know that 1 in 100 babies in the U.S. are born with a congenital heart defect? CHD's are the leading cause of infant death, and the #1 birth defect of live infants. The cause of most congenital heart defects are unknown, yet funding for research vastly lags behind childhood cancer and other genetic diseases.

Has your child been diagnosed with l-tga? I would love to talk with you. Please enjoy my blog and email me if you would like to join a network of parents of children with l-tga and other CHD's.

Happy New Year!!!

Today is the first day of a new year, a new decade even, and I'm sure there will be many changes and excitement to come our way.  I am happy and proud because I think for the first time that I can remember, I actually followed through with my New Year's Resolution last year and accomplished the goals that I set for myself.  I resolved to participate in 6 5-k's and to train for them on a monthly basis.  I had some months where I was very active, and others where I was not so active, but overall I excercised on a pretty regular basis and I am sure that my heart is healthier this January 1st than it was last January 1st.  I even stretched my expectations of myself and did a 10-k and a half-marathon. 

I wish all of you, my friends, my family, and anyone reading this blog, a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year.
