I is for..

A young boy, fifteen years old, lives each day knowing that it may be his last. Four open heart surgeries and countless other procedures have left him looking like a patchwork doll, thanks to a mother who drank while she was pregnant. This blog is a record of the day to day life to which Justin is accustom. Daily medications, weekly blood draws, and monthly hospital visits are the easy part of Justin’s reality. While other teens are preparing to drive and wishing for a car on their next birthday, Justin is preparing to undergo another surgery and wishing for a new heart so he can have a next birthday. He is a fighter and it is wonderful that he doesn’t let his maladies effect his spirit. But how much more wonderful would it be if his mother had been responsible and loved him enough to care for him before she could hold him.



Go HERE to read more about Justin. I LOVE his story.
