Lindsay Dean, daughter of JR and Suzie Dean, was born at University of Michigan's C.S Mott Children's Hospital, June 11, 2008 with a Congenital Heart Defect known as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, or HLHS. The short explanation is that Lindsay was born with only half of a heart. In order for her to live, a series of three operations were planned and possibly down the road, a heart transplant. Thus far, Lindsay has endured a total of 5 open heart surgeries and because of her poor heart function, Lindsay was put on the transplant list in November 2008. Well, much to our surprise, it finally happened! Lindsay has a whole heart and June 5, 2009 will forever be a date to remember! Lindsay is one of three children in the Dean family, brothers Cole and Cruz. Please feel free to follow Lindsay's journey as it unfolds.
Please don't take your organs to Heaven. Heaven only knows that we need them down here!!!

Heart Poem
It's a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels, to go live on earth, and be born. One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus "I don't want to leave, I like it here, and I will miss you". He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that he is just going for a visit. He is still not swayed on this idea. So Jesus kneels down, and says, "How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?" The angel smiles and says, "I guess that will work". But the little angel is still a little scared. He asks,"Will I be okay with only half of my heart?" Jesus replies,"Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine." Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says "When you are born, your mommy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart". "Enjoy your time with your family, play and laugh everyday." "And when its time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves."
