Aubrie - Hardships, Heart and Hope! A Parents Journey.

Paul and Mandy Hughes are vibrant, athletic, outgoing and in love. After having Olivia, their beautiful,healthy daughter, three years ago…they decided to have another child. Things were looking good until they went to see the doctor…to find out if they were going to have a boy or a girl. The doctor said…" they needed to talk." A wave of dread and emotion flooded over both Paul and Mandy. They found out they were going to have a daughter …but they also found out she would have had half a heart. Mandy gave birth to Aubrie and the last 15 months have been a roller coaster ride for the family. Spending Months in Denver at Children's Hospital… 8 surgeries… 2 of those for Aubrie's little heart. They're home now in Grand Junction, Colorado…but Aubrie still needs another heart surgery in about a year or so…and doctors say she'll need a heart transplant sometime down the road. But for now? Aubrie is learning to crawl and grab and do a little catching up as a toddler… she spent so much time in the hospital.  As for Paul and mandy? They are giving back to the community that helped them so much get through what is nothing less than a crazy, dark time for a family trying to learn, understand and watch their baby go through so much. This is just a brief glimpse into what the last 15 months have been like for these guys. 

This is Aubrie Hope and Paul and Mandy's very candid… 'Good News'
