Today I wanna share something very very important with you.
His name is Camilo!
He is the cutest baby I've ever seen. He's a special baby, you can see it in his beautiful eyes.
Every day I fall in love more with him. He keeps his smile against all odds, the thing touches me more is that in all the situations he has nothing but smiles... smiles all the time!
Here's his story:
On January 30, 2013, Camilo was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) also referred to as "half a heart". At just 6 days old Camilo had his first open heart surgery and went on to have his 2nd and 3rd open heart surgeries at the age of 8 months. His recovery for all his surgeries had it's ups and downs and resulted in longer than normal hospital stays. We are so happy that to this day Camilo is thriving! He continues to meet his milestones through continued physical and occupational therapies. He is continuing to gain weight and strength for his next open heart surgery. Through this process we have been covered with lots of love and prayers and have been blessed with an amazing support system. Caring for a child with special needs and continuing to give him the best care can be a financial struggle. With hospital bills, medications, therapies and co-pays things can add up. We have been contacted many times on how you can help. If you like to donate and help with the extra medical expenses, any amount counts! Thank you Heart family for being there with us on this journey! We couldn't do it without you!
If you need more information on the HLHS check:

1 out of 10,000 babies are born with HLHS (half a heart).
God bless you sweet baby boy.. you're a miracle!
