So Tracy has had her epidural, it has been a really slow process given the fact they had to induce her from start to finish. The contractions were so painful she had to have the epi. She’s trying to get some sleep right now and the nurses are saying it’s going to be 8 to midnight-ish that he should be here.
Thanks again for everyones continued thoughts & prayers.
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.

By the sounds of it, I had a very similar journey as her at that time, time frame was almost identical. Thanks God for epidural. Thinking and praying for you guys. It’s almost the home stretch now. Give God all your cares, He’s there to help you.
i know its been a long rough day i am here still praying with all my heart for all of you,i love you tracy-levi and baby aiden matthew lord be with my kids i love them so much i am with you all in spirit and prayers love always mom xoxoxoxox i am so proud of all of you god bless
I’m so thankful that the day is finally here when baby Aiden will be born. I saw a rainbow today about 4:10pm. I thought maybe that baby Aiden was possibly born around that time. I said a prayer that everything is going to be fine and well. I said a prayer for you Levi & Tracy for strength & faith to get through the delivery process. I said a prayer for baby Aiden to be very healthy & strong. I thought of it as a “Rainbow Of Hope.” I also wondered if it stretched clear to Colorado to you Levi, Tracy, & Aiden!!! I love all 3 of you!!!
I am so happy that Tracy is able to get some rest. I have asked for an epidural with two of my pregnancies (this last one included) and I am always too far along in labor to get one. I hope she is enjoying not having to experience any more contractions (believe me…they are horrible when you are induced).
You are all in my thoughts and prayers and I will make sure I am praying extra hard from 8:00 pm until I see another update. Be sure to have your camera ready…we want to see some great pictures!
