Unknown to us, the first Friday of every Feb. (yesterday) was Wear Red Day, a day to promote awareness for heart disease. It's also the day our baby boy received a nickname "Little Red Ninja" and we want you all to know why. His heart isn't growing as it should, specifically his pulmonary artery (currently not viewable, likely too small or not present) and the collateral arteries that feed to it (condition called MAPCA's). When he is born, he will need heart surgery before ever going home and potentially more after that. Over the next weeks and months, we will be able to learn more of his condition and what surgeries will be needed. While this is tough news for any parent, at no time have we or will we lose faith in He who got us to this point. Long ago we surrendered this journey through infertility to His great and perfect will and even after yesterday's news, we still and always remain fully committed to that. Today we take great comfort that his heart is beating right now only because of God's perfect design and ask that you all join us in the coming months in praying for growth, the Dr.'s involved, and that God would glorified through his life.
Coming in June
