Still can't believe my Little boy is one years old. It is crazy to think he can do so much already. He started walking at 11 months and is almost running. Getting into the panties opening and closing doors. He is such a big boy. One year ago my little man had open heart surgery. He has a caractation of his aorta. That means his aorta was narrow. He had 4 more things wrong like 2 holes and valve wasn't closing and another vein was narrow. Fixing the aorta and giving him meds helped him out a little. I will never forget the day we had to bring him to the emergency room. Carrying him like i thought he was going to die. They did tests on him and eco-grams they thought he had some other things wrong with him. Days were long nights were worse. He had all these machines hooked up to him with all these tubes as well. The machines were beeping and scaring the crap out of us. Every time it went off we thought he was going dying or his heart stopped it was the scariest thing that ever happened. He was 6 days old and going thought so much. I couldn't hold my little man which killed me even more. It was a waiting game.. we had to wait to see when he was having surgery and what they were going to do. One week later they told us what was going on and he was supposed to have surgery. Finally we had an answer after all the days we waited in his room singing to him talking to him touching his hand and legs.
The whole time i just wanted him to get better and kept it all in Gods hands. It seemed that i was stronger than my husband that i believed that Lukas was alright and that angels were watching over him.
The day of the surgery was the worst day of my life i was so nervous. When they wheeled him to the surgical wing i almost balled when they took him away. We were in the waiting room for 30 mins when they said they made the first cut. An hour later i was in his new room and they were bringing him to me. He had a tube coming out of his side and out of his ding a ling.. Everyday he got better and better less med more milk. Then he was in recovery and i was able to hold him and feed him.. He was having a lot of trouble eating he would suck and chock. He forgotten how to suck completely. That is why he had the feeding tube to help get the food that wasn't going down..down. He finally gained some weight and was off of everything a week later he came home. Lukas has a heart condition and it is getting better. His holes are getting smaller and he is on target with everything. He is a one year old that is for sure.
LIke I said one year ago my little man had heart surgery and he has recovered. We pray that it heals for good and that the stiches keep and never tear.
