Aiden’s Parents: Tracy & Levi Beers
This website was setup by Aiden's Dad to document Aiden's journey when we learned of his Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) at 20 weeks prenatally.
On October 23rd at 8:02 PM MST our Aiden passed away from that Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) ... and you may wonder, what is a CHD if you've came across this page from a friend or possibly from Google searching because your new baby has been diagnosed with a CHD and like me, you're scared and on Google, something they told you not to. I'm sorry my story doesn't seem initially to have a happy ending, but it does. Many born with CHD not just survive, they THRIVE! And for some, actully the last very rough CDC estimate was 5,600 children die a year (an average within the last few years) from Congenital Heart Defects.
Every year 40,000 families face this same reality: their child has a heart defect. My family knows that hearing “Your child has a heart problem” completely changes a family forever, there are many teary nights, many of us plead with God – let it be us, not them. We sit and await surgery day with high expectations and the greatest feeling of fear we will ever have. 1 family out of 10 will be sent home with a book, “How to deal with grief” instead of taking their child home.
My wife Tracy and I have founded an organization to support CHD Awareness as well as those that have lost a child due to Congenital Heart Defects called Aiden's Angels. Look back for a link to Aiden's Angel's.

Matthew 17:19-20 "For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."We founded a Facebook group called "Praying for Children with Health Problems" - if you have a Facebook account and would like to receive notifications and praise reports on children with heath problems in need of prayer please visit us below:
Praying for Children With Health Problems on FacebookBlog4CHD – A Community of CHDers
I found it therapeutic to share Aiden's Journey so that more people become aware of the #1 birth defect and the #1 cause of birth defect related death - more than all types of childhood cancers combined yet funded 5x less. I founded Blog4CHD.com in December 2009 so that others could share their stories. It has blossomed into hundreds of CHD Bloggers sharing their journeys, news and everything related to Congenital Heart Defects. Click below to check it out.
