Yesterday I accidentally did not do a blog post on CHD Awareness Day. I forgot because I had to spend the weekend in the hospital, so instead I'm doing a post today. While I was in the hospital I learned that the American Heart Association may use children with heart defects in advertisements, but they use almost all of the money for adult heart research. To help make a difference you can sign a petition at:

Today I made two more slideshows on my Album page. One is a slide show of all the pictures I have posted this week, and another is a slideshow of pictures of things all around the hospital.

Today I posted a picture of a sign in the Children's Hospital of Illinois' PICU. I did this today because yesterday was heart day and I got to spend it in the Peoria Children's Hospital. To support CHD Awareness please wear both red and blue this month.
