This video was on MSN and I happened to click on it. As I watched it I couldn't help but think of my Kyson. This girl was born with the same heart defect as Kyson, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. When the Mother was talking about her options I was so grateful that now 25 years later we were given options that allowed our son to live! We were given three options...first, process of three surgeries, second, heart transplant, and third take him home and let him pass away. I am so grateful that last option wasn't my only option!
As the doctor said, "...certainly up until the early 1980's, none of these babies survived...NONE of them," it made me think how incredibly blessed we are. I know Kyson is a miracle, but watching this just reminded me of that again. Medical technology is amazing.
We haven't seen Kyson's cardiologist in almost four months. We will go see him in a little over two weeks. I am anxious to know how his heart is doing. I have a lot of questions that I would like to ask him.
I am so grateful for Kyson and all he has taught me. He has quite the personality! He is feisty, but also very loving. He loves people and can make anyone smile. He loves to throw anything that is in his hands. Don't push the wrong button with him or whatever he has will be thrown at you! He loves to snuggle and gives great hugs. I just love that little man and can't imagine life without him!

So true, I have a friend who's brother was born I think just before him with HLHS, and it was just a couple years too early. I can't even imagine. I'm with you, I couldn't imagine life with out my Lincoln. I am so thankful for the advancement they have made.
