About Us
- The Hitchcock Family
- We started this blog after Colby, our youngest son, was prenatally diagnosed with Congenital Heart Defects: Tricuspid Atresia, large VSD, Hypoplastic Right Heart, and Bilateral SVCs. Colby was born on August 4, 2008 at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. After a 2 week stay in the NICU for monitoring, he was able to come home with no immediate surgery. At 2 months old, though, Colby was unexpectedly admitted back into the hospital to face his first of three surgeries, the BT Shunt. In July of 2009, he had his pre-Glenn Catheterization followed by his Glenn Operation in late August 2009. This was only a few short weeks after his 1st birthday. His third and final surgery, the Fontan, was in March 2011 at 2 1/2 years old. His surgery went well, and we were home six days later. Since then, Colby has been doing great, and he is loved by so many, especially his big brother Brody! Colby continues to amaze us every day with his strength and spirit. He is truly a miracle! Thank you for reading our blog and keeping up with Colby's progress, as well as other special events in our lives that we enjoy documenting on our blog. We really appreciate your comments, love, support, and prayers!

That is amazing! He is such an inspiration, you did a great job with putting his story into pictures.
God bless that boy! God bless this sweet amazing family. You each have walked this past year with such grace!
What an awesome video! I had to admit, I was a MESS through the whole thing...I cried like a baby :) .... Love, Melissa Goostree
Oh Becca!!! What a WONDERFUL job you did with this video. It's perfect!!! I watched it yesterday and again today and I have a feeling I'll end up watching it over and over. You couldn't have found a better song to recap Colby's first year. I had tears in my eyes from the beginning and lost it when I saw you included me & Cain in the video. Thankfully I was able to laugh a little when I saw the picture of Colby's hair after the EEG. That picture makes me smile everytime I see it!
