Within Each Heart

Our son, Rowan, was born with Congenital Heart Disease and later diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. He had 2 open heart surgeries, 5 heart caths, and 2 additional surgeries. Realizing that despite fighting for him, Rowan was never going to get better and that he was hurting, we made the decision to change our fight from a long life, to a beautiful end to it. Hospice was a true gift and a beautiful time for our family. We said goodbye to our son when he was 7 months old.
