Ramona Mae

Little Kate lost her battle with congenital heart disease at just 18 months old. She was born with the same heart defect as Ramona and also had 22q11. Her family’s story and faith have touched me deeply. They have started a program at their local hospital to provide books to sick children in her name. Please consider donating to Kate’s Kart.

We’re adjusting around here. Adjusting to a new world where positive news about Ramona’s heart is possible. It’s a big adjustment for me, going from cautiously optimistic to less cautiously optimistic. And I find that my usual “eloquence”, also known as long-windedness, about Ramona’s prognosis has just vanished. When asked how I’m feeling about the results of the cath and angioplasty the best I can usually do is say, “Fine, pretty good I guess.”
