This is the story of my Amazing Atticus as he journeys through life with a rare heart disease known as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS).

Welcome Robert-Gary Atticus Goodahl!
Atticus was born today! He weighed 8lbs 15ozs and was 21.5 inches long! He was immediately whisked away by the doctors to the next room to be evaluated. It would be a little over an hour later before I would get to see him again. The pediatric nurses wheeled Atticus in. Sandy (4 yrs old), Gideon (2 years old), and Jamal (3 years old-my nephew) were all in the room when they came in. I was glad they all got to see him. It was only for a few minutes though, because the heater in his little isolation unit was shorting out, so they had to rush him up to the NNICU. It would be the next afternoon before I got to see him again.
