Hi! My name is Stefenie and I am a fellow "heart mom". My 5 year old son was born with five very complex heart defects and has had three heart surgeries already. We have a blog at
http://www.whenlifehandsyouabrokenheart.blogspot.com

I found your blog through another heart family's blog. After reading your daughter's story I was wondering if you would be interested in sharing it on my blog for CHD Awareness week. Each year I have several families share their stories to help spread awareness for heart defects. You can read my past stories by clicking "heart stories" at the top of my blog. If you are interested please send me an e-mail at jacks_rswl@ mepotelco.net

Abby's Miraculous Story

Abby was your typical, healthy, soccer-playing, intellingent, perfect little girl. On May 18th, 2011, only one 6 days before her 12th birthday, her life changed forever. Abby's heart stopped beating while she was in her PE class at school. Lucky for us, there were many capable and amazing people that were there to perform CPR until the paramedics arrived. CPR was done for approximately 10 minutes, and then her heart was shocked twice, and thankfully, this was enough t bring Abby back to life. Three hours later, Abby was on a life flight jet being flown to Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. That night she was diagonosed with restrictive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and was told she would need a heart transplant. After moving to Salt Lake and being on the transplant waiting list for almost 2 months, Abby was given the gift of life, she received her new heart. We have a long journey ahead of us, but our lives have already been filled with numerous miracles and we have been continually touched by the goodness of others. Although this has been extremely hard on the Doman family, we have received many blessings and continue to do so daily. We will never take another day with Abby for granted. Every day is a gift.
