Remember the Temporal Scanner blog contest over at <a href="http://www.copperbrickroad.com/">The Copper Brick Road</a>?  <span style="font-size:180%;"></p>
<p></span>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" >I WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span></div>
<p>I have tears.  Seriously&#8230;. after Ky scared me last time with her temperature being 94 I told Troy we HAD to get one but we have not had the funds to spend.  I was hoping that eventually one would come up or I could use Walgreens bucks or something to get it but now I don&#8217;t have to worry!</p>
<p>Do you believe that God provides?  I do!!!</p>
<p>Thank you to <a href="http://www.copperbrickroad.com/2009/04/exergen-temporal-scanner-winner.html">Rebecca at the Copper Brick Road </a>for this huge blessing!<strong>Recent Comments:</strong>

Bentley was diagnosed at 2 days old and will be having her open heart surgery in May.</p>
<p>Her blog really struck a chord with me because after surgery, Kyleigh&#8217;s cardiologist told us that what Kyleigh had was actually a half breed Anomaly.  She really had both AV Canal AND TOF but there isn&#8217;t any known &#8220;condition&#8221; that includes them both.  Ky had the thickening and obstructions that are characteristic of TOF but structurally she had enough parts missing that she was an AV Canal also.  Yes&#8230; yet again my child is 5% or less&#8230; what can I say?  When describing Ky we say AV Canal because its easiest to explain but knowing the depth of her heart&#8217;s condition &#8230; I feel for this family.</p>
<p>Crystal is doing an amazing giveaway to raise awareness about Congenital Heart Disease and you should DEFINITELY go visit and enter to win.  The contest runs until April 10th and the winner will be announced on April 11th!<br /><a href="http://thewelshfam.blogspot.com/2009/04/give-way.html"><br />http://thewelshfam.blogspot.com/2009/04/give-way.html</a></p>
<p>Some CHD facts from Bentley&#8217;s site:
<ul>
<li>Congenital heart defects are the #1 birth defect. Nearly one of every 100 babies is born with a CHD. </li>
<li>Congenital heart defects are the #1 cause of birth defect related deaths. </li>
<li>Congenital heart defects are the leading cause of all infant deaths in the United States. </li>
<li>Each year approximately 40,000 babies are born in the United States with a congenital heart defect. thousands of them will not reach their first birthday and thousands more die before they reach adulthood.</li>
</ul>
<p>Also&#8230; please keep our little friend Bentley and her family in your prayers as her OHS date approaches.  Ky&#8217;s first OHS dates is the day that marked &#8220;the rest of our lives&#8221; and there was really no turning back.  I don&#8217;t remember much of the Colostomy surgery because I was less than 2 days postpartum and HEAVILY medicated!  I always think of her OHS as our &#8220;first surgery&#8221;.  I know that surgery is old hat for Ky now but there is something about that FIRST one that is just heart wrenching.  To have your first be OHS&#8230; my heart just aches for them.<strong>Recent Comments:</strong>
