Jilliann Joy

Jilliann Joy (top right)

 

Jilliann Joy is a healthy, strong baby with heart challenges. She is due for a heart catheter this Spring (2004) to remove a 4mm Gore-Tex tube added as an extra shunt during her bi- directional Glenn last summer. Please pray for her and her doctors.

September 2006 Update

Jilliann Joy is my sunshine! With an older brother constantly challenging her, she is very much a "Tom Boy." She loves to sing and knows many songs which she sings, on key! Baby Einstein, Blues Clues, Veggie Tales and Elmo are her favorite shows and characters. She enjoys puzzles and Duplos. She loves playing with her nieces and nephew and loves "babies." She is my "twentieth anniversary Hawaii souvenir" so her nieces and nephew are very close to her in age!

? Mary, Jilliann's Mom, and brother Caleb and Sis Julia, Nieces Trinity and Jubilee, Nephew Ian (Valley of the Sun, South East, Arizona)
