For All Heart Mommies :) :)

For all heart mommies ;) ;)

It can happen during utero,
Or sometime after birth.
The news that makes you tremble,
The news that shakes the earth.

"we hear a distinct murmur ma'am,
There's an issue with the heart
We're not sure your child's chances ma'am,
It's going to be a rough start"

You think "why me? Why us?"
As you try to choke back tears
Your world crashing around you,
While you're consumed by your worst fears.

That sharp pain in your chest.
The heart break, like a knife.
Watching your precious child
Fight so hard for their life.

The first few months are brutal,
You walk around like a zombie.
Endlessly wondering
"will my baby get to call me mommy?"

"don't worry, it will get better"
Is something you can't stand to hear.
It feels like everything is getting worse!
The end, it feels so near.

Then suddenly the days,
Seem to get a little brighter.
As you stare with loving eyes
At your precious little fighter.

You've never been so proud
Of one single little soul,
Gradually reaching milestones
And accomplishing their goals.

A heart moms journey
Is one that never ends.
Filled with support and compassion,
Of other heart mom friends.

We all love a little deeper,
And care a little more.
Reminding ourselves everyday,
Of how much we can be thankful for.

We were given this life for a reason,
And at times it can get rough.
But we use our kids as examples,
Of how to remain tough.

For us, strength is not a choice.
It's a lifestyle we have to lead.
It's what keeps us going,
And it's what our heart child needs.

6 Month Update

Jasper is almost 6 months old and doing really well. He is sitting up and playing and laughing just like a little boy should. I am doing better dealing with the fact that my sweet boy has a heart problem. During and after the surgeries was the hardest time of my life. I dont think anyone knows how I felt or feel except the mommies and daddies that are going through the same thing. Even tho Jasper is doing good and his appointment are going well I find myself listening to his breathing and checking if he is breathing through the night. Its a hard way to live but if I dont I get anxiety. It really is no way to live but I cant help myself. I love him so much that it takes my breath away. Sometimes I am so mad at God for doing this to my little boy letting him go through all this pain BUT then I also remember that God has been with him and guiding him to safety. God has a plan for him and my family and He will not give us more than we can handle. Please continue praying for our sweet little boy. Still accepting donations to go toward his medical fund.

We love you so much Jasper
