Welcome to my Guestbook! Please sign my guestbook. I had hoped to show Coby this guestbook one day. I will now show the book to his brother and show h m what an impact his little brother made on people's lives in his short 6 1/2 months.

Comments:
I am saddend almost every week by this board because someone new is there with a child that had died of the same "ver
rare" defect. I never heard of HLHS before Jan 6th 1998 when my daughter was diagnosed by ultrasound, now I have met so many that have suffered the lossof their beautiful children. Your son was beautiful and am so sorry for your loss, I know t
e pain is deep in your hearts. E mail me if you would like to talk, my daughter only lived 5 days, but I am thankful for those few hours, she has had a profund effect on the way I live my life today.

I am so glad you updated your site and were strong enough to share Coby's story. It is very difficult for us as parents to
understand what you are going through except that we always have that feeling that it could happen to us too. God Bless Coby, he is n a much better place now.

Comments:
I think of you often. Our stage in the path of grief is so similar. It's been 8 weeks now since Benjamin died,
and I feel the pain and emptiness immensely. Like you, seeing another child my son's age is so incredibly difficult. I haven't been to a gro ery store since Ben died, because he's suppose to be sitting in the cart I push. With this our s
cond loss of a child, I do know you and I will come to a point down the road when we can think of our precious boys and smile, rather than cry. The tears wi l lessen, as will the pain, but the love and joy we had with our boys will never go away.&nb
p; Take care.

Your story touches my heart. We also had a very rough time with our son, Riley. He was 2 months 1 week old when we came home for the first time. We went through the N
rwood, a closed heart surgery to add another shunt, and ECMO! It was a very scary time f r us and you feel like you just get thrown in to this other world, not knowing what to expect. After being home for about 4 months, we went in for his hemi-fontan, so
e people call this the Glenn. We were in a total of 12 days. That was pretty good in my pinion, compared to 63 days the first time. He's now 13 months old, crawling, pulling up and taking steps. Our main concern is that he won't eat anything other t
an his bottle. Our pediatrician says not to worry, but he should be eating at least baby food All he does is gag on it. I appreciate the fact that you have shared his story with us. It helps to hear about other kids. You have a gorgeous baby boy and
we pray that he will do well and have a wonderful life ahead of him.
