Heart Babies

The more I read about the little heart babies the more I wonder how these kids survive. How do they survive in an orphanage where they hardly get the proper medical care they need.  Some of them go for years tired and struggling for breath before they get the life saving surgery.  Many of them never do and they don't make it.  It's hard to think about just how many kids don't make it unless someone takes a chance on them but even then there are no guarantees that it will come out right. 

Of course sometimes even the best of medicine or surgeries just aren't enough to save a life but at least they had a chance; someone had taken a leap of faith and did all they could do to give that child a decent life. It's probably more then they could ever have hoped for to be given a chance at love, family, happiness even if for a short while. 

So I hope all the little heart babies get their chance sooner rather than later; they deserve it just as much as anyone.
