Jakey's Blankies

This is a picture of a "girl" version of Jakey's Blankies.

This is Scarlett holding her ultra soft minky "Jakey Blankie".

This is another picture of the blaket. One side has soft animal print, and the other side has plush pink flowers.

Jake Alan Dennison 1/21/2009 - 2/9/2011

Born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome [HLHS] 

(the most severe Congenital Heart Defect)

Yesterday was the 2 year anniversary of my heartmom friend Liz's son Jake's birthday. He was born January 21, 2009 (one month before Scarlett). He was also born with a severe congenital heart defect (just like Scarlett). Jake fought for his life for 19 days and lost his battle with HLHS on February 9, 2009  [eight days before Scarlett was born].

In Jake's honor and memory, Liz and her family started a heartfelt campaign to leave a legacy for Jake. She and her legion of supporters began to create and sew soft blankets to donate to the babies in the PCTICU of St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix suffering from congenital heart defects and undergoing open heart surgery (sometimes multiple heart surgeries).
