*there's Congenital Heart Defect Awareness week

I will start this week by reluctantly telling everyone about this giveaway. This blogger/mom has a son with TOF/PA. Liam is similar to Will in many ways. It has been nice to have her to compare notes with. She has made a beautiful piece of art (that I really want for myself) and is giving it away on her blog. So if you must, visit her blog and enter to win. I don't think there is any rule against giving the prize to someone else...so if your name is chosen don't forget that you can give the prize to me. ;)

Kicking off the week with a video from Will's hospital about the research they are doing for baby hearts. The first part is encouraging people to donate money to fund Vanderbilt research. If you want to skip that part and hear what the doctors are up to you can fast forward the video to 1:20.




Pretty hopeful isn't it?!?

Also, the Tennesse Infant Pulse Oximetry Screening bill is going to the House finance subcommittee tomorrow. You can follow it's progress here. And here is a copy of the actual bill. You may recall me mentioning this last year. In a nutshell, it's going to save lives.
