My Favorite Too!

I had to steal this from Emily's blog. Just last week our sadly deprived Las Vegas family was going on and on about how NOT special Chick-fil-A is. You know who you are. They don't have Chick-fil-A in Nevada, so they just don't know how good it is.

I have to agree with you that people without Chick-Fil-A are truly deprived beings!!!

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

From http://www.mayoclinic.org/hlhs/

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is an abnormality in which the left side of the heart (left ventricle, aortic valve and aorta) is severely underdeveloped. The condition is congenital (present at birth).

When the left-side heart structures are underdeveloped, the right side of the heart must pump blood to both the lungs and to the rest of the body. In the womb, a baby's body receives oxygen-rich blood through a communication (connection) called the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). After birth, the PDA spontaneously begins to close. An undeveloped heart cannot pump efficiently enough to support life and that is when a baby with HLHS gets very sick. Without treatment, the defect is usually fatal within the first several days of life.
