All - Over the course of this last year I have been asked numerous times about what exactly HLHS is. I think I have explained the construct of Caden's heart versus the "normal" heart pretty good in most cases. Where it gets ugly is when I start drawing pictures. You see I cant use my normal stick figure illustrations when it comes to the heart. A HLHS family from PA I have been communicating with shared the below link with me. The link is the first of a 6 part series on HLHS. You can view the rest of the series by choosing them in the Related Videos section (each are numbered). Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia put out this series. While my heart (pun intended) is with Childrens Hospital of Wisconsin, I think CHOP did a nice job explaining Caden Marshalls condition. There is a strong message of hope in this series as well. If your so inclined to learn more.....

David & Melissa, I want to thank you so much for linking your recent update on Caden to the videos of HLHS. You have just educated me and so many other people about Caden's situation and what he has gone through and will go through in the future. I cannot tell you how important it is to me to understand this. Being a GI nurse I am unfamiliar with a lot of cardiac procedures. Thankyou again. When I finish this note to you I'm going back to watch them again. Love, Aunt Ginny
