Happy Valentine’s Day!
Hudson had a cardiologist appointment today and we received some wonderful news. His chylothorax has finally resolved and is completely gone. One of the reasons for the lack of blog posts lately is because the chylothorax has basically remained unchanged since November. This is the first time since September that he has not had any residual chylothorax. Thank you Lord for answered prayers! We have been so blessed to be able to stay out of the hospital now for the longest amount of time in Hudson’s life. We spent Hudson’s first Thanksgiving and Christmas with family, and just enjoyed all of the special moments with our precious baby boy.
The past few months have had quite a few ups and downs. Everything with Hudson has been
great. He is now 7 months old and
completely on the move. He loves
walking (while holding Mommy or Daddy’s hands), playing with his furry brother
and sister, and giving the sweetest baby loves I have ever seen. Every moment with him is an incredible
gift.
Even though we have not been in the hospital lately, we
still developed some close friendships with people we met while we were
there. Three CHD families we met
said goodbye to their precious angels as they entered into the presence of our
Lord and Savior over the past several months. Babies W, J, and C will always hold a special place in my
heart. I cannot imagine how
incredibly difficult it must be to lose a child. These babies are true heroes and their lives inspired so
many.
No one is guaranteed another day and God has just been
reminding me to savor every moment.
I know that in a single heartbeat everything can change, but I am
determined to treasure every moment.
Every smile, laugh, and kiss from Hudson shows me how precious life
is.
