Thank you so much for your kind words, everyone ~ G and I are both very touched!

While this is all extremely scary, the cardiologist and geneticist in Baltimore (I'm starting to think we should hold our next 3FC get together at John Hopkins ) have created a calming effect on us because they have a plan in motion to deal with this. Mariah's aorta is extremely fragile and dilating dangerously, but both the drug therapy and surgical outlooks are pretty good. Its sort of a waiting game right now as the battery of tests are processed, but we're confident she's receiving the best possible care.

Mariah knows all about 3FC. In fact, she's my helper when I do the "Timmy coffee runs" and if I even attempt to order a Canadian Maple donut, will say "What do you think the chicks will have to say about that??"

Thanks again, you wonderful people!

Look at that spunky smile and tell me she's not a fighter!

I was only just getting to know you, having only been around a few months.
All this just breaks my heart and puts tears in my eyes.
The Lord be with you all, doctors too.
Your daughter is beautiful!

OMG! Jill! You also have a big chunk of my heart here at 3FC. Just sending you my good vibes and some of those superpowers that it takes to sit in hospitals and wait. Love and kisses!
