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!

Daddy's Girls...

Of all the things I love about my husband, the thing I think I love the most is what a great Daddy he is!


It doesn't get much better that this...


He would do anything for these girls...


They will always know how loved they are...


And will never lack for cuddles and snuggles....

The girls and I are so lucky to call him ours!

great pictures. I especially like the ones of him and Ava Grace on the blanket together. He does have a special bond with those girls. I enjoy watching him and Lily play. Not every man would be willing to play Pretty Pretty Princess and wear the crown and earings!

So sweet! I tell you what--after having a boy first and then a girl, there is something about a daddy and his daughter!!
