Gracie’s Story.
The BIA Parade of Homes benefits Nationwide Children’s Hospital. We met Grace at the Tuckerman Home a few days before the parade began. This is her touching story, as told by her father, of her experience with Children’s.
Gracie’s condition is Tetrology of Fallo which is a five-pronged congenital heart defect that forces lots of kids to have surgery immediately after birth. We got lucky with Grace. She was eight pounds at birth (October, 2001) and visibly healthy. No scary “blue” spells. They wanted her to put on enough weight to better the odds of her surviving surgery, but they didn’t want to wait too long.
