It was just one year ago today that Little Bug fought the fight of his life. He went into the operating room for the 5th time and had Open Heart Surgery. We cried and we waited and we prayed with all of you for a miracle to transform in Little Bug's heart.
This was Connor when he returned from the operating room. We had received the news from the surgeon that the surgery went better than expected, "Beyond his wildest dreams" was what was said about the surgery. Connor had a long road to recovery, but a year later......
He is a happy little boy who just loves life with all of his being!!!! We are so proud of you Little Bug!!! We love you with all our hearts and we Celebrate "YOU" today.
Whenever something special happens in our home, that person receives the You are Special plate. Today that plate is entitled to Little Bug. It doesn't have the usual flatware that we use at meal times. It is tailor made for Connor. Syringes, feeding tube and baby food. Our prayer is that on Connor's 2nd anniversary of his Heart Repair we will see a fork and spoon and food he can eat by mouth. That is our biggest prayer right now for Connor. He's come so far, we know he will go the rest of the way.
Just to think, last year he couldn't really "do" anything because he was so sick and because he was hospitalized with a breathing tube. But now he is rolling all over, sitting up, laughing, babbling, playing happily, jumping in his jumperoo, gaining strength everyday, and off his feeding tube expect at nighttime and mealtime. We have come a long way.....ALL OF US!!!!!!
And now our happiest times are usually found in the bathtub......
Here's Little Bug in the tub and he just found a friend in his reflection.... Hee Hee Hee (Thanks Morgan for your inspiration to get a picture like this of Little Bug!!!)
A year ago we were apprehensive, worried, sad, yet trusting the Lord for a miracle. Today we are happy, expectant, content and trusting the Lord for each new milestone for Connor!!!!!
Lovebug Hugs,
Randy, Lori, Little Bug and Sweet Pea
