We've started the New Year off right in the Henrickson household. Not only did Sloan turn 4 in which she celebrated with friends and family, but she also received another good report from her cardiologist! We couldn't have asked for a better start to the New Year!

| Another year we were able to give back to celebrate Sloan's birthday. This year, we purchased new toys for her cardiologists office to give to their patients |
With the start of the new year, also comes Congenital Heart Defect Awareness week (Feb 7 - 14). Since Sloan is now in school, I wanted to come in and share a story with the class about the importance of keeping your heart healthy (exercise, eating right) and that those kiddos born with different hearts need extra care, but otherwise are just like anyone else! So I went in and read a book to the kids and did a small craft with them. Trying to spread awareness in all the ways that I can!

All else is going well here. Sloan really enjoys school, goes three days a week and has made some little friends in class. Her heart is doing really well and we have no concerns at this point. Not much more we could ask for than that!

| My sweet, sweet Sloan |
