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!

Crash!

Tragedy struck this morning... my cell phone "crashed!" I didn't even know that cell phones could crash, but apparently mine did and in the process ALL of the data (contacts, pictures, ring tones) stored on my phone was lost! It is AMAZING how dependent I am on my phone and technology in general... it is really a sad fact! Lesson learned: Keep an old fashion, ink and paper, address book with all of your contacts in them!!

I was at Verizon this morning when the doors opened. They could not save any part of my phone! I had one of these...



It has not been my favorite phone. I have had some issues with it "locking up" before and such. I liked the phone I had before this one much better. Turns out Motorola phones in general (not just the model I had) seem to crash sometimes... the guy said he had seen that happen "a handful of times" (however much that is) on Motorola phones. My warranty only covered the same make and model, but lucky for me they were out of stock!! YAY! So I got upgraded to an LG that looks like this:

Very happy! Just sad that I lost my contacts. I got an email out to just about everyone I know whose number I had in my phone already... but if I didn't get an email to you, please please send me your phone number so that I can update all my contacts! ON PAPER *and* in my phone!

Oh, that is so frustrating. Technology is great until it stops working. Ha! I'm very dependent, too, on having all my numbers in my phone. I guess I need to save them elsewhere, too. Glad you got to upgrade!
