How We Are Coping....
Hi everyone, just wanted to update you all on what we've been up to lately. As most of you know, my twins Calvin and Georgia were born November 10 2008 at BC Children's Hospital. Calvin had an extemely rare form of Truncus Arteriosus, a complex congenital heart defect. Calvin passed away due to complications from open heart surgery at six days old. This is how we've been working to honour our son's life:

What a wonderful way to honor Calvin. It's a great thing that you are doing, and I know he is very proud of you both. You're story touched me deeply and I think of you and your family often. Thank you for sharing this with us, and congrats to you for raising money for this cause.

Margaret - I posted a reply on our due date thread, but wanted to pop in here to tell you how amazing you and Shane are. Georgia is lucky to have you as her parents and little Calvin is smiling down on you, I know it. What a wonderful thing you're doing - it will help so many other children.

Thanks Kristen, I don't think it's that we are particularly amazing, we just needed some good to come out of what we went through in losing our son. Some sunshine through the rain I guess....If anything we do helps one family to not lose their child, then it will be completely worth it in the end.
