Alex was born at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis. He was diagnosed with a single ventricle congenital heart defect called Tricuspid Atresia (HRHS) and TGA. He's had four heart surgeries (Central Shunt, BT Shunt, Bi-Directional Glenn and the Extracardiac Fontan in September 2005). During the Glenn, part of his diaphram was paralyzed so he also underwent a diaphram placation surgery after the Glenn in 2003.

Wow - see how technology has changed our world? I haven't been here in so long because I feel so IN TOUCH with everyone through Facebook! Ugh. I apologize if you've been coming here and not seeing any updates - as usual, that means status quo - all is well. Oh, Tom and I are both on Facebook so find us! We can all use more friends, right? :-)

Alex is doing awesome! He's in first grade, loves his school (St. John's) and is the light of our lives. Yes, he's a handful sometimes but what 6 year old boy isn't?!??! He's in Cub Scouts and getting ready for his first Pinewood Derby with DAD! He loves the Wii, Nintendo, Monster Jam, NASCAR, Spongebob, etc. He and TOm spent both days this weekend ice fishing with Uncle Skipper and Aven. We're trying to come up with a fun SPring BReak outing this year so if you have any ideas, let us know!

We are SO blessed to have such an awesome family and friends. Life Is Good! We've come a LONG way from those scary surgery days and would love to hear from you!

Drop us a line!

Judi, Tom and Alex Lund
