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!

Introductions...

Meet Reagan...



This is my friend Jenn's beautiful little girl! She is one week old in this photo. I visited her for the first time a few days ago. Isn't she beautiful. There is nothing like a sweet baby. And Reagan is so tiny! It was nothing but pure pleasure holding her and smelling her baby soft head... she is nothing short of perfect!

Here is a picture of Me, Jenn (Reagan's Mama), and Reagan. Jenn looks great and it was SO nice to get to visit for a little while! Jenn teaches at my school, but she is moving next year to a new Middle School! I am going to miss seeing her at work, but lucky for me she lives just a few streets away!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! For the most part, mine was low key and I enjoyed every minute! We are finally down the last month of school and although I don't like to "wish my life away" I will admit that I am REALLY looking forward to the end of the month and SUMMER!!!!!!

Hope everyone has a happy Monday! Blessings!
