Introduction	Our beautiful son, JB, was born on January 10, 2008. He was happy and we thought healthy. At four months old we learned that he had congenital heart defects (Coarctation of the aorta, ASD, bicuspid aortic valve and a missing, blocked or otherwise busted R coronary artery.) He had surgery to repair the coarctation in June 08. As we've struggled to navigate the road of congenital heart disease, we've received so much comfort and guidance from other parents/survivors/heart heroes in the online community. It's my hope that this blog will "comfort others with the comfort we have received." Whatever the trial, illness, sorrow, grief...God is able to bring peace in the midst of the storm.
Interests	Studying, reading, cooking, writing,and doing everything in my power to make my son laugh so hard he snorts.
Favorite movies	Shadowlands, Rudy, Shawshank Redemption, Searching for Angela Shelton, The Trials of Ted Haggard, Once, Remains of the Day, A Room with a View.
Favorite music	U2, Jeremy Camp, David Gray, and most recently a rap version of nursery rhymes that makes my son stomp his left foot repeatedly
Favorite books	I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb, The book of James New Testament, The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb, Disappointment with God by Philip Yancey, All Souls by Michael Patrick MacDonald
