Aaron's Baptism

I'm backing up a little, but I hadn't gotten around to blogging about Aaron's baptism back in January. Aaron was baptized at St. Andrew's United Methodist Church on Sunday, January 29th. We were so pleased to share this celebration with our wonderful church family.

During the baptism, there was a picture of Aaron up on the projection screen. When Eli saw it, he kept saying, with his booming voice, "Baby Aaron, Baby Aaron." Everyone was laughing. After about the fourth time, Pastor D.A. asked Eli for one last clarification of whose picture was on the screen, and in his loud voice, he announced, "My brother, Aaron!"

A big thank you to Deanna for taking pictures for us.

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.
