I am a senior in high school and in the medical program there. I am writing a research paper on Pediatric Congenital Heart Surgery and am going into some detail about HLHS. While researching I came upon your website and was touched by your story. I wish Cameron and your family the best of luck in their lives. I plan to pursue a career as a Pediatric Cardiologist and hope that I can save the lives of so many infants born with congenital heart diseases. Krystle Kraus <kricklek@aol.com> Canton, OH United States - Saturday, April 24, 2004 4:44 PM CDT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I want to thank you for this wonderful site. I have enjoyed reading about your son. As I read your story my thoughts were of our family sitting in the waiting room at Primary Childrens Hospital. I have a grandson who was born with HLHS on June 29, 2003. He is holding his own althought we have been on the roller coaster since his birth. He is now 14lbs. He has had stage 1 and 2 of the Norwood procedure. He is the love of our lives, his smile melts you and his laugh is wonderful to here. He also has a older brother and sister that were also born with heart defects. I say thank you again for sharing. I wish you and your family all the best. Jan Torkelson Woods Cross, Utah - Monday, April 19, 2004 12:11 AM CDT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you so much for sharing your story, what an inspiration you and your family are to so many!

I admire Cameron so much for his spunk and spirit to overcome....he is such a winner. I want to wish him continue good health and say Hi to him and his whole family. I am a friend of Cameron's Grandpa Ralph and Grandma Amy who I think are wonderful. Annie Ong <aong@chabotcollege.edu> San Leandro, CA US - Tuesday, May 20, 2003 5:49 PM CDT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I was reading about your son Cameron and I am so happy to see that he is doing so well. I love to hear the good stories about these children. More often than not the news is so sad. The pictures of him and your family are great. I have a son with HLHS that is nine, so I know all the feelings that are you all are going through right now. It's funny when I look at my son I almost don't remember what we all went through. I will never forget the day I woke up and realized that I wasn't worrying about it anymore. It was such a good feeling. These children are so precious and I really think that God has a special purpose for them.

Nightnurse21 <Nightnurse21@yahoo.com> - Tuesday, October 01, 2002 at 09:14 PM (CDT) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thankyou for letting us no your story, it helps everything make sence. My daughter Phelicity has HLHS and is now 2 months old. She has not had the Norwood instead she is having a new operation to treat this condition. So we have travelled to the States for this. Veronica <giantbenny@hotmail.com> Kanwal, NSW Australia - Sunday, September 15, 2002 at 01:28 PM (CDT) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On june 10th my OB said she couldnt visualize one of the valves of my baby's heart. I thought this was strange. She ordered a fetal ECG. I never got it due to the fact my next OB decided she wanted an in-house urine sample from me a day before i was suppose to have the ECG. On Aug. 2, 2002 i gave birth to what seemed to be a normal baby boy. 9 days later me and my husband were seriously wrong. Our Ashton was diagnosed with HLHS. He died on the 20th. Its scary to know that there is this birth defect and there is only options out there that require that we give consent to make our babies have scars. Lindsey Petty-Grimm <desynil@yahoo.com> Piqua, OH USA - Monday, August 26, 2002 at 07:59 PM (CDT) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello!! It is so wonderful to hear about how well your son is doing :) My daughter was born on December 4, 2000 (about a week after Cameron :)) and she was diagnosed with HLHS early on in the pregnancy. She was one of the unfortunate ones and only lived two weeks. I know she's not in pain anymore but I miss her dearly. The two weeks she was here, I cherished every moment with her, as I know you are doing with your son. It just makes me SO happy that things are going great with your family.
