My Lens On Life: My New Blog...

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!

My New Blog...

...My Lens on Life.

With the purchase of a new camera, a long loving relationship with photography, and a renewed thirst for knowledge and something new, I am starting a blog devoted to the view of things from my camera's lens. I am going to be learning new things, trying new shots and experimenting from all angles and you can see it all right here. This blog is, for the most part, just a way for me to document and keep track with the new things I learn and shots that I try. However, I welcome friends, family and guests who are interested in seeing how things look for my side of the camera to have a look and visit often!
