The Technical Name

(Three posts in one day! What are we going to do with me! Sorry y'all, but it must come out.)

The Technical Name is Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. I've recently found, some way or another, quite a few blogs about babies with heart defects. Some of them have this. HLHS.

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome is the Technical Name of the thing that took my brother. I think about him all the time. I have a right to. He's my brother. He will always be my brother.

I was born with a heart murmur. It makes me feel more connected to him, because we were so far apart.

They didn't have treatments or surgeries back then. They just had to take him home and pray for the best.

and I will always love him.
