hope this is okay....
I've had a lot of e-mails and messages about Conner and what exactly is wrong with his heart, and rather than trying to explain it all over and over, I thought I would post a video that I made when he turned 2 years old. It pretty much explains everything, and also has lots of pictures of Conner, and some pictures of his beads near the end.

Tamara - he is a beautiful little guy with a very pretty big sister who obviously adores him. I think you coming in here and posting is actually very beneficial for all of us too - we can put a name and a face with the BOC concept. I am not yet making my own beads but plan to donate heavily when I am able to get going. Please do keep us posted. I have bookmarked his carepage as well as the video.
Big mommy hugs,
Shari in southern California

Please don't feel you are intruding here... There are so many of us who regularly send beads to BOC and it warms my heart to have been getting to "know" you and Conner.
Your beads are in my kiln as I type.. just about ready to come out... they turned out adorable. I really think just knowing where they are going made them turn out just a little better!
Thanks for sharing the video... it really breaks my heart to know that any child has to go through such tough times.. You are a wonderful Mom and you are blessed to have each other.

Oh Tamara,
I need to grab a box of kleenex now... The tears ran through the whole video, it was SO touching. What a beautiful tribute to your son and his journey, and your journey too. He is beautiful, and it is so obvious he is loved and treasured. Thank you for sharing this journey with us.. it makes a difference.

Tamara, bless you for sharing such a wonderful video of sweet little Conner with us. I just want to take your whole family and hug you all and make you safe.
All of the pics and videos were just outstanding, but I think the one that tickled me most was where he was digging his little toes into the plush purple carpet.

Tamara,
Thank you so much for sharing. He is a beautiful boy and so lucky to have such a loving family. And thank you for making me appreciate the health of my kids a little bit more. You will be in my prayers from now on, and please keep us updated on your beautiful boy's progress.
