Aidan Vogel just turned seven years old. Spend a little time with the Vogels and you wouldn't realize that Aidan has spent more time in the hospital than many of us have in our entire lifetime. Aidan was born with major heart defects. When he was one week old, he had his first surgery and he had his second surgery six months later. You wouldn't know any of this unless we told you because Aidan is a normal seven year old who enjoys baseball, soccer and karate. More>>
Arlington was born prematurely only 25 weeks into Myria's pregnancy. At birth, she weighed 1 pound, 3 ounces. Because of her premature birth, she suffered from a heart defect that required surgery.

The doctors performed brain surgery just 24 hours later and Causey was able to go home after just a couple of days. More>>
