Thomas had his first basketball game today :) His team name is the Banana Bops (How Cute is that...lol) All 6-7 year olds. Thomas had so much fun...just loves running off some steam :) So proud of my once frail baby who has survived so much is now in 2nd grade, played baseball last year, and now basketball. I know I'm being all cheesey, but this little boy fought to live through one surgery (open heart surgery to correct his congenital heart defect called Tetralogy of Fallot) and fought to walk to through another surgery (He had congenital scoliosis with a hemi-vertibrate, and without the surgery would most likely be paralyzed right now as we speak)...guess I just have so much to be thankful for when looking how far he has come in his 7 1/2 years (how far we as a family have come). Just feeling very blessed to be able to watch him play basketball and see the joy in his eyes...PRICELESS!!!
Not cheesey at all - totally inspirational and hopeful if you ask me! What a great feeling - and your story gives me something to look forward to!

ReplyDeleteHi! I'm a fellow ToF mom, just happened by your blog when I was searching tetralogy of fallot. I love to read about how other heart kiddos are doing. God bless your family!
