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!

A lemon...

After weeks of back and forth trips to Best Buy and multiple conversations with Geek Squad, my lap top was officially declared a lemon.  Thankfully, there is a "no lemon" policy, and they replaced my computer!  Thanking God for the blessing, because I would have been sick if I had to shell out more cash on a computer!  I am now holding my new Toshiba!  I have a bad taste after my experience with my HP, so I thought I would try something new.  Still getting used to the new one, but so thankful!  Another blessing... as I was loading pictures on the new computer and going to order prints from Wallgreens I discovered something I hadn't thought of... I upload my photos to Wallgreens for printing purposes.  This means for a little (or a lot) of cash, I can order CDs of ALL of my lost photos from Wallgreens and I'll have them forever again!  All the way back to 2008!  So relieved.  So, I'm back.  I know I've probably lost the few readers I had, but maybe I'll get you back soon!  I missed blogging and reading all of your blogs!  Can't wait to catch up!!

turning cart wheels! I missed having your blog to read so I could be having fun with you in spirit if not in presence!
And very happy about the computer working out the way it did. And EXCEPTIONALLY happy about the brainstorm on the pictures. So, maybe you'd like a Walgreens gift card for Christmas? lol
