{simply a miracle}

I have typed and deleted, so many times.   It’s hard to put into words the feelings that have been felt this past week.    I am amazed.    Dallas's parents were told that he would have a 15% of surviving this surgery.  I know that this surgery was needed.   And I know that it wasn't easy for them to send him into that OR.   Can you imagine?   As a mother, I can't even fathom.   The surgery was about 8 hours.    They received news periodically throughout.    The last bit of news was delivered by a much more relaxed Dr, who told them over and over "by the grace of god, he made it".   I am amazed by their strength.   I am amazed by Dallas's strength.   Each day he is doing even better - and much better than was anticipated.

{We are so very lucky to be so close to such a wonderful hospital.}  

 after being told to expect to stay at least a month... he {crossing my fingers}

might be going home in after being there only a week-ish.

 I was shocked at how well his chest looked.   The bruising is minimal - the incision was done along his prior scar.   Seriously this kid had open heart surgery just DAYS ago.

And my little sweetie.

The questions she asked after leaving the hospital the first night...

"What is wrong with Dallas's heart?"

it was broken so the Dr. fixed it.

"Who broke it?"

no one sweetie he came out of his mommies tummy like that. 

the Dr's fixed it when he was a baby too.

"Why was it like that?"

it just was sweetie, he is special.

"Why"

do you want an icecream?

*************************************

I had her and Dallas's little brother in Walmart...

She was using the fabric softner as her "baby".

Her babies heart was broken.

Needless to say he was the Dr. and fixed it.

Open heart surgery in the cart at walmart - with a fabric softner bottle.

{life is simple at three}

however, the baby... ended up splattered all over the floor in the bakery dept.

 unfortunatly this isn't the end of this for Dallas.  This procedure will prolong things.

Hopefully make his body stronger - so that a transplant can be done.

 I am trying so hard to absorb life.   Let it be.

I will try harder to not take things forgranted.
