Why Miles is my super hero.

Three years ago we waited.
We sat and waiting in the surgical waiting area of Childrens' Hospital.
We sat with friends and family.
We waited for our hourly update. Waiting to hear that you were doing well and the surgery was going well.
We waited and found out that your surgery went great! You did not need and grafts around your heart and would not need to have more surgeries to exchange the grafts. Our hearts were relieved.
What we did not realize is that we still had a very long road ahead of us.
Many unstable days, fighting the vent, needing blood transfusion, not being able to be held.
It was a long road, but well worth the fight.
Happy 3 year heart birthday to my Super hero!

my super hero

This is my super hero. He has been through so much, but nothing stops him.

If you call for help, he will stop and see what you need.

Before he flies away, you can see can see his cape fly in the wind.

His eyes will hypnotize you.
And then he will use his super hero powers (cuteness) to get what he wants.

Here is a GREAT picture taken on my birthday. This is what our house usually looks like on game day Saturdays. Kevin, Margie and Justin were on their way out the door to the USC vs OSU football game. We love when Kevin and Margie are here. Wishing that they lived closer!
