I love watching the winter Olympics, don't you? I can't wait for them to start soon. I wanted to bring attention to one of them Gold Medal Olympians Shaun White. Did you know he has been *playing* in the snow since he was like 5 yrs old?!? Know wonder he is so awesome. But did you know he also has TOF?!? Yep. Here's a link to his bio.

I will totally cheer him to his next medal.
Someone else that has TOF is Mark Oshea. He did this video at Vanderbilt. We *know* some of the staff in the video. One of them is our Child Life Specialist. She helped walk us through Torie's surgical pre op, and even visited with us after it was over. She was a blessing, but I guess having been there and done that gives her a benefit others do not have.

I will make sure to always support these guys, because they are not only showing TOF patients how great life can be, they are raising awareness too!
Both of them are blessings!
