Praise

When I was 17 weeks pregnant with Tehilla, we heard for the first time the words: Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. The words came crashing down on us, and we were left paralyzed by the diagnosis. We were very much alone, floundering in a sea of medical terms and a horrifying decision to make. We found fellow "heart mamas and heart dads" online who helped us decipher the information and find proper resources. 

These heart mamas advised me to start a blog, like they all did. It was to be used to update family and friends of our heart warrior's progress.  

So, I did. I started this blog and started writing, as a release for myself, and kept the blog closed to the public. With each update, I put a little more design into the blog, knowing that with many of the preliminary tests we did, I might never be able to publish the blog.

But thank G-d, Tehilla is now a week and a half old, and this blog went public the day she was born.

We prayed that Hashem help keep this baby alive and she would be a source of praise for Him.

This blog has now had over 30,000 views. People are reading about Tehilla in Israel, USA, Canada, Australia, Italy, Spain, Germany, Chile, Norway, Belgium, France, South Africa, Switzerland, and Netherlands. 

We've been contacted by people from all over, and have been told about Tehillim groups that have been set up for our little girl, all over the globe. Challah groups, as well. 

We are in complete awe.

  1. If anyone is in awe it is us for you and your family. Your love, your trust in HaShem, your strength -- it is awe inspiring and beautiful to behold. Everything in this world is a lesson to help us grow and learn. What wonderful lessons little Tehilla is teaching -- to you and to us 30,000 who have never met her but have come to love her just the same.
