We are on the flip side. That is a beautiful place to be. No more waiting, no more wondering, no more anxiety… just peaceful restoration. It has been a beautiful journey really, in an odd way. The love we as a family felt through out this process has been unprecedented. My email and texts notificationsContinue reading “a beautiful melody”

My brain may just implode
For a long time I went about doing things in a disordered and chaotic way, I am not an organized soul… in fact once upon a time I took great pride in my disordered existence. Planning?? What’s that?? I remember when Tim and I started dating and he took me out for dinner and heContinue reading “My brain may just implode”
Tribute to Kaper
This weekend we had a fantastic day celebrating our little guy Kaleb at the Labatt Family Heart centre’s siblings conference. the day focused on the siblings of our heart kids and gave them a chance (for once) to be the centre of attention and the focus of our appreciation.

one stupid clot
This blog has typically been a place for me to share my thoughts about Congenital Heart Defects and how it affects our family, our faith and our journey through life together. It’s also been a therapy tool for me, to write out my thoughts and fears into the great abyss that is ‘the word wideContinue reading “one stupid clot”

It’s been a long and at the same time very short summer. June andContinue reading “Proof of Life”
going the distance
It’s been a while, as I thought it would be since my last post. We ended up getting the week of holidays at the cottage that we had hoped and prayed for. It was great weather, warm and sunny (for the most part) and other than a little rough patch at the start of theContinue reading “going the distance”
Ever in flux. Ever blessed.
Getting used to life with a sick kid is knowing that you just can’t make solid plans, this we have learned a long the way and will explain the later part of this post. The other things we have learned in regards to the hospital stays are that it’s not cheap. There is the food,Continue reading “Ever in flux. Ever blessed.”
The date
The second (or is this the third) stage of waiting is over… we have a date for surgery. July 31st, unless we get a cancellation before that. Now, the final stage of waiting can begin, though I think this is the worst part of it all. The knowing, the dark cloud on the horizon thatContinue reading “The date”
