Grateful

We are grateful for our son.  We are grateful for the modern medicine that has saved him.  Eli would have passed away around 6 weeks of age if not for open heart surgery.  Too much blood pressure in the lungs would have destroyed them.  

We are grateful for these experiences. They have taught us what love and hope and faith truly mean.  We have grown in ways never known to us before. 

We are grateful for Eli's health and his strength. 

Found this blog today. Their daughter died a year ago, she was missing her left side.  Eli is missing his right side...

The Scar

Eli's scar. Summer of 2010. 

A year after two surgeries this is what his scar looks like.
