One year ago tomorrow (Sept. 7th) is the day that our Alex got a "new heart". Our sweet boy bravely underwent an open heart surgery where 3 holes were closed and valves were created where there were none. In the last year Alex has gained 7 lbs, stopped randomly dropping to the floor in pain, and has gone from looking sickly all the time to being a vibrant and healthy 5 year old. We are so thankful to Dr. Dabal and Dr. Law for being so positive and diligent in correcting Alex's heart and caring for him. It sounds odd to say, but as we prepared to move to Oregon I actually cried when we left Dr. Law's office for the last time. How do you show your gratitude to the people who gave your child a new chance at life? I don't know. Maybe this is my attempt. Maybe this post is just to remind me of where we've been and how far we've come. Either way, I don't want to forget.
