Mrs. U:
Hello! It's Rachele Chaplin... I was in your 12A English class 5 years ago... I was just looking at your web site! good to see you are doing well!
My husband and I recently had a beautiful baby girl... we named her Victoria Michele, "Tori" we found out a month ago that she has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome... that means that the left side of her heart didn't develop fully... she has had one open heart surgery in Boston, MA. and will have to have two more in the future. We are in Birmingham while she recovers. She is doing very well! She is learning how to eat again from the bottle... she is such a miracle! I can't wait to take her home again! You take care and write me back if you get a chance!
