Chd Awareness Week 2011

Congenital Heart Defect Awareness week is just around the corner, Feb 7th-14th 2011.
 We recieved our CHD Awareness brochures and stickers, 300 of them to be exact. Desiree plans on taking them to school with her and the LSH staff agreed that it would be great to help get the word out about congenital heart defect awareness out there!
We are also gonna be leaving some brochures at the local Henderson clinic, so that whoever sees them at the clinic can grab one and read all about it!

Also Desiree is working on a project which she is in charge of for her service learning class  at school, She decided that her class should do a blanket drive for the kids who are stuck in the hospital, The blankets will be delivered to the kids at the University Of Minnesota Amplatz, in Minneapolis Mn.

They have also decided to take request for blankets from heart families that we/i've gotten to know thru facebook.
So currently Desiree & her class are working on the cozy tie blankets for the kids at the U of MN Amplatz and for our special friend Charity, who is due in March with a hlhs baby boy.
And Desiree just doesn't stop there, she is working with her sister Megan and making care packages for the heart families who are or will be in the hospital with their heart child or baby.
I am VERY proud of Desiree & Megan for taking charge on making blankies for the heart kiddos and care packages for the families.


If you would kike to donate fleece blanket material for Desiree & her service learning Class in school,
 feel free to message me on facebook or you can send to

Also I just recieved some great news thru email, The city of Belle Plaine & Le Sueur Minnesota's mayors emailed me back, they both responded back to the letters I sent them about signing proclamations for the CHD Awareness week, They both responded by saying they would be honored to do this for our family and for the other families who have chd kids and for those who have lost kids to congenital heart defects.
We will be going to the city meetings the first part of Feb for the signings and they have asked us to say a few words in regards to the proclamation and to to introduce Cameron to them.
. They also let us know that the local town newspaper will be there to take pictures and to do an article about CHD AWARENESS WEEK 2011.
