Look at those beautiful eyes

Don’t those eyes just say “Mom what are they doing to me?” Even with all the tape and tubes don’t you think she is absolutely beautiful. She has gone though so much! The surgery was successful, Yea! We celebrated by getting some take out.

Through reading blogs I have found that there are a lot of good people out there. I was amazed at the response my friend Morgan got when she headed up a fund raiser for NieNie. Morgan was overwhelmed by the support and donations that she got from the people in blog land. Today I discovered that there is this blog land support system of heart patient parents. They are really amazing people, my thoughts go out to them as they wait for heart transplants and finding surgeons and funding to give their babies a chance at life. Yet they stay strong and hopeful. Yesterday I ran into a friend that her 4 year old son had a heart transplant. I asked her how she handled it, she said she didn’t know how she really did it, but she never felt alone. I have already seen this, the day after my nieces surgery there are nice comments to my sister and brother in law from other heart patient parents. Telling them of support groups and warning them of some of the hard things that are still to come. I know that my sister and brother in law, aren’t alone. They have such wonderful family and friends that have rallied around and prayed and worried with them. But I think it is so nice, that people that they have never met, that have been though heart surgerys too have so quickly offered their support. It is so nice to know that during the hardest times, there probably is somebody that has been there and willing to help you out.
