Jodi Smith Lemacks

My third child, Joshua, was diagnosed with a Critical Congenital Birth Defect (CCHD) before birth. Born via C-section in June of 2003, he was immediately whisked away to the hospital next door for his first of three open heart surgeries, without me even getting a glimpse of him.
