Organ Donation

 Due to the news we received yesterday about Abby's friend Kylie. I wanted to talk about organ donation. I know that this is a touchy subject for people. Even more so when you are talking about kids. Being a organ donor may mean saving a life of a person. I cant even imagine losing my little girl and having to go through that. My heart goes out to all the Heart Angels parents and families as well as my friends who have had to say goodbye to a child.
Last year Abby was able to receive a heart from an organ donor. The boy in the picture above is the one who gave her this new life. Words cannot express our gratitude to his family for making the choice of donating their sons organs to save lives. Abby's life is not the only one he saved. We are forever grateful for this beautiful gift. I know it's hard to think of but please be an organ donor and when the time comes encourage your kids to do so. Death is a hard topic. But giving life to another is the best gift that could ever be given.

Please help spread awareness.

I guess I will try again. I asked this in the first week but apparently it didn't go through. Is CHD more common in boys or girls or does it matter?
