Organ Donations
Growing up I never gave much thought to organ donation. It's not a general topic talked about. I checked the organ donation box on my driver's liscense from merely thinking, "why not?" Tyler's heart journey, his need for an eventual transplant and following the stories of people saved by organ donation makes me want to plead to the world to become an organ donor. So if you are considering it here are a few reasons to do so.....
Owen has HLHS and is a little younger than Tyler. He is awaiting his new heart. http://simmonsfamilyupdate.blogspot.com/
Gracie is getting her new heart right now. The left ventricle is having a hard time so please pray for her.
There are countless, hundreds others awaiting their hearts. All with mothers and fathers who love them, children who need them and family and friends who are inspired by them.

Raising awareness is HUGE!!
I am so thrilled that Tyler is doing so well!! :)
I've been feeling pretty good, I actually don't feel pregnant at all. I'll have a fetal echo & the ultrasound next week when I'm 20 weeks. I'm a little anxious, but honestly I feel alright all things considered.
By the way, why does Tyler look like a 3 year old on that horsey???? I think it's been a while since I've seen a recent picture! He is so cute! Gosh they really aren't babies any more:(
So glad you have you as a friend, and I remember times from the mission with great fondness.
