I come to you with a heavy heart this afternoon as there have been 2 heart babies I follow on-line that passed away this week. God gives and takes and I know that He is in control; but it doesn't take the hurt away I have for these mommies and daddies as they grieve! And, it brings it all into perspective for me. I go through life watching Ian and Bonner act like normal 2 year olds, oftentimes forgetting the path that has brought us here. God has blessed us beyond measure with their lives and I am so happy that He chose me and Stewart to be their mommy and daddy; however, when I hear of someone else's loss, I am quickly reminded to cherish each day with them! Please remember these families in your prayers; their baby's names were Ewan (who had a severe form of Tetralogy of Fallot, the same diagnosis as Ian) and Joshua (Hypo-Plastic Left Heart).
And, tonight, I ask you for prayers for us. We have Ian's 1-year Cardiology follow-up in the morning at 8 a.m. I'm so thrilled that we have come so far; but, I will go into tomorrow's appointment with bated breath! I need to hear from the doctor and see on the echo that his heart is functioning as well on the inside as it seems to be on the outside! I cannot believe it's been a year since our last appointment ... honestly! I am excited and nervous at the same time; I pray that God continues to have His hand directly on Ian's heart!
Little Man is living up on the deck overlooking Shem Creek a couple of weeks ago at the beach!
Of course, I can't leave Miss Priss out :-) This picture is one of my favorites of all time!
I hope that Ian will be still for the echo and cooperate for the EKG. I've already decided to go to Target this afternoon and pick him out a surprise ... I think he's earned the right to be spoiled at least once a year
:-) Let's hope that's how long it will be until the next appointment! I'll update in the morning after the appointment.
Love to everyone,
Jennifer
