This week is Congenital Heart Disease Awareness Week, and I feel lucky to have been nominated for the Inspiring Blog Award at just the right time, thanks to Shelagh at The Open Jar. In thanks — and in an effort to pay it forward — I’d like to share and nominate these inspiring blogs of people in health struggles with their children — and one blog that offers fuel to get us through it.

1. Little Earthling Blog: Apollo’s Story — the first story of a double aortic arch that I ever read online.
2. Love That Max — a beautiful story of a mom and of kids with special needs who kick butt
3. Charlotte’s Journey Home — the journey of a child with CHD and her awesome advocate of a mom
4. Superman Sam — a cancer story followed by nearly the entire north shore of Chicago last year as Sam fought valiantly until his family went on to carry the torch
5. Cybele Pascal’s Allergy Blog — practical advice for when food allergies and restrictions seem overwhelming

Thank you, Shelagh! If anyone out there has someone to nominate, please feel free to share a link in the comments.
