Abby

Abby was born with five congenital heart conditions. She had surgery at two weeks and another at three weeks. She is currently undergoing open heart surgery in an attempt to repair and connect her pulmonary arteries and fix her VSD.

Abby is a joyful smiling baby who loves to laugh! Even when she is hurting, she tries to smile at us! She is our first child and she is a blessing!
