Tyson Hugh Hooper

Tyson Hugh Hooper
Our son, Tyson Hugh Hooper, was born with coarctation of the aorta, hypoplastic arch, and a transitional avsd. His first open heart surgery reconstructed his aorta and was on day 9 of life. His second open heart repair was not anticipated to be needed until two or three years of age. Ty had other plans. We spent the vast majority of his first 3 months of life at Vanderbilt as he went into heart failure and was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. As a result, the medical team concluded that he needed the repair much sooner than usually recommended, and at just shy of 3 months old Ty underwent his second life saving open heart surgery. God has already worked so many miracles in Ty's life and the life of our family and we know he is using our story. Because of this, we are grateful for Ty's special heart and feel beyond blessed that God chose us to travel this road. We ask for prayers as Ty continues to heal. We are praying for a full recovery and life without restrictions for Ty. We are praying for God to use our family and Ty for His glory.

Thank you to each and every person who supports us through prayer, giving, or just by loving on our family! We are humbled and blessed by all of the ways the Lord is providing for us and know that he is using Ty and his story to do great things!

Bloggin' blabber...

Well, I haven't posted since Monday, so I figured I better get back on here or everyone's going to assume I gave up blogging! NO WAY! I have just been super-duper busy! Most of you already know that I coach the dance team at my school (although hopefully I will be able to give that duty up next year) and assistant coach the cheerleaders (hopefully I will take that on full time soon)... and although dance is over for the year - cheer is wrapping up and getting started all at the same time I guess you could say! Wednesday after work I had the "end of the cheer year" bash but today and tomorrow are cheer tryouts for next year! And today I also hosted an in-service after school. So, basically every day this week I have been busy doing something after work and pooped when I get home!

Inspired by my own "3 about me" post and a blog I love to read... Kelly's Korner... I will continue sharing some brief things about myself for your reading pleasure. :-)

My favorite holiday: Christmas (but I love ALL holidays - a little crazy - and I am all about celebrating some birthdays, seriously!)

Pets - none and no plan for any either. I like dogs, but the older I get I think I am just not a pet person. By the way, I don't like cats at all!

Favorite colors - pink and green (and favorite color to wear - black and pink)

That's it for today folks... more to come I am sure, but for now I am going to go take it easy for a few and unwind after a busy busy day at work!

How am I so different from you and Ken? I don't understand it. I couldn't live without animals in close proximity! Does this mean when you come visit me one day you won't want to help wrestle the calves for branding?

That's fun that you coach cheer. I cheered all through junior high and high school and loved it. I coached little girls in cheering a couple of years ago and it was so much fun!
I'm glad you shared a few things about you!!!
