Mending a broken heart is our way of sharing Coltons journey with HLHS (hypoplastic left heart syndrome). HLHS is when the left side of the heart is smaller than the right and unable to work like it is suppose to. Causing the need for the baby to have 3 open heart surgeries during his childhood. The first one being within the first week of life. With out these, it is sad to say, he would not survive.
With this website we are trying to raise money to assist with the financial burden this has put on our family. This includes travel, lodging, meals and fuel to St. Louis Childrens Hospital where Coltons birth and surgery will occur. There is also money needed to pay for medical insurance and other debts. Due to the illness of our child Katie has had to quit her job during the last trimester and will need to be off of work for possibly 6 months or more to care for Colton and his big brother Walker who is 11 months old.
