Lisa & I were expecting our first child in 2001. We went to Missouri Baptist Hospital for the ultrasound and noticed that there was a problem with the heart. From there they sent us to Barnes Hospital for high risk pregnancy. After many tests and visits, they told us that our son had...Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoplastic_left_heart_syndrome. Lisa was admitted to Barnes Hospital for preterm labor and spent several days there. I took Lisa in a wheelchair over to the Olson Family Garden http://www.stlouischildrens.org/tabid/100/itemid/447/Olson-Family-Garden.aspx at Children's Hospital. This gave us time to get our thoughts together and help relieve some of the stress. Lisa went into labor September 11, Paul Jason Moore was born and died 9/12/01. His name means "Small Healer". His body was donated to the hospital. The garden had stepping stones that were available for a donation. We thought this would be a great way to remember Paul. Every year I hold this paintball event to help raise money for the Olson Family Garden so that others may enjoy it.
