August is Cuppa for Heart Kids month and I will be hosting a 'cyber' tea party with Show us ya Cupcakes on my Facebook page HERE on Thursday if anyone is interested in joining us.
As I remember our journey into parenthood I am haunted with memories that really aren't filled with joy, but more tears and heartache.
- I remember the first time I heard the words "Your child has a heart condition!"
- I remember sitting on the plane during our flight to Melbourne sobbing on Hubby's shoulder.
- I remember waking up sobbing during the night, convinced I could hear my baby crying close by.
- I remember hubby jumping into the shower fully clothed to hold me as I sobbed uncontrollably.
- I remember talking to the surgeon and trying so hard not to only hear the risks involved.
- I remember hiding under the covers once again sobbing and refusing to say goodbye to my baby as they took him into surgery. Hubby had to face that one alone :(
- I remember the phone call telling us everything went well!
- I remember the first time I saw our tiny baby boy hooked up to so many different machines and looking literally like death warmed up.
- I remember the first time we could hold him after his surgery.
- I remember the day we were told we could finally go home.
- I remember finally getting to introduce our baby to his family.
- I remember everyday how blessed we are and am so very thankful that we are lucky enough to have our special Heart Kid with us today.
