Kylie's cousin Maddie has a heart condition. She was born March 13, 2008 ~ 5 lbs. 14oz. Madison was prenatally diagnosed with the Congenital Heart Defect, Pulmonary Atresia, and is a Hypoplastic Right Heart (HRHS) baby who has undergone 2 of the 3 open-heart surgeries (BT Shunt & Bi-Directional Glenn) to "re-plumb" her heart, all in the first four months of her life. Her final surgery, the Fontan, will complete the repair and her heart will always function as a single-ventricle. The community along with Katie, Ryan's sister put together a blood drive in her honor. It was a huge success. This is Maddie's heart story and a glimpse at their family! Please view her blog at http://www.allredbabygirl.blogspot.com/ for more information.
