Update

We got here at 6 am and they checked us in. We went to pre op where they tried to get an i.v. in and they were unable to. So they took him back to surgery, masked him down and were able to get one in once he was under anesthesia.  They have started his cardiac cath and the wait will be approximately two hours.  I will update as soon as I am able! In the mean time any prayers for our little fighter are greatly appreciated! Thank you ALL for the amazing comments, they have lifted me up.

Jenn -
I am praying for you and for Paxton. I have been in that waiting room outside the cath lab waiting for my best friend and roomate for hours on end, and I know how hard that was. I cannot imagine if it were my own child. You and Paxton have both shown amazing strength through all of the trials you have faced so far, and I pray for continued strength for you.

Happy One Month Birthday Baby Boy

Today our son turns one month old!  There were days when I was still pregnant with him that we were not sure he would be alive to see this day. God, has blessed us. He is here. He is perfect. He is fighting the biggest fight of his life.  Just as sure as the H (home) word was mentioned to us as a possibility in a couple of weeks yesterday, I in turn, got the phone call at 2 a.m. this morning that his heart is struggling.  His heart is working so hard to keep going. It is a delicate balance. One day everything looks picture perfect and hours later it all changes.  I am working on not looking to far down the road, one day at a time, one hour at a time, one prayer at a time. Today our son turns one month old and the alternative makes me realize that I/we can do this. Even though there will be many tears through out this, many angry days, sad ones and joyful ones. I do believe that God has a plan for us and for our son and as we wait to learn what that plan is, I am finding a patience I ha...

I honestly didn’t realize until today why I have been the weepy mess that I have been these last few weeks. I thought I was tired.  I thought well you have five kids and lots to remember. I am prone to anxiety. I worry to much which is definitely nothing new.  I attributed the constant crying to all things other than the obvious, which after ten years one would think I would have down by now.   It’s February.   It is heart month and I don’t mean cupid.  It is real heart month.   The hearts who are sick, broken, healing, or in heaven… We honor, celebrate, recognize and weep over all things Congenital Heart Defects.  I used to be able to post a lot more about it.  I used to write a lot more about it, but I have found as time goes on that well… I don’t have a ton of time for it, but also I think I’ve been avoiding it as well… because after 10 years… words don't come to me like they used to…there is just no time line and I haven’t...
