My Lens On Life: Thank you Aunt Sarah

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!

Thank you Aunt Sarah

My dear sister over at Between The Fence Posts send our girls some warm weather outfits earlier in the summer...

Ava Grace was a strawberry. Does it get any cuter?

I wanted to put her in this every day! Look at the detail on the collar and the top of the hat! So sweet!

...and of course there are ruffles on the butt {my favorite}!

Lily got an equally cute outfit that was perfect for her! It says 100% Sweet and that couldn't be more true!

I love the relationship that these two already share!

Ava Grace absolutely adores Lily. The feeling is mutual... Lily loves playing with Ava Grace, they are bit buddies!

Thank you Aunt Sarah for the clothes! It was a GREAT surprise! These two girls sure do love you!!!!!

{I love you too!}

Sarah said...: and I love all of you! This was a sweet post. And thanks for the pictures. Lily looks really pretty in that color! And now I have to call Ava Grace little strawberry instead of little sesame seed. ;)
I saw the ruffles on the bottom of that outfit and it was sold. I knew you'd love that!; August 27, 2012 at 9:59 PM
