No time to waste

Birthday #3 was here in no time.  We haven't even given much thought to all the events in the past.  For me, they aren't even vivid memories I try to forget.  They are simply times past for which I am thankful that God gave us the strength to get through.

These days life is pretty much extraordinary...extra ordinary in that we have been so fortunate to have Mason as healthy as can be.  We don't worry or wonder if he can do something or whether we can take him somewhere.  We just do.

Later this month we will take Mason up to Albuquerque for another checkup and echocardiogram.  We hope to see that things are working just like they should in his little re-built heart.  Each of these "normal" visits gets us closer to his next open heart.  It will be so difficult to turn over our beautiful boy over to the surgeon..he's going to wake up and wonder why his Mommy and Daddy let this happen to him.  Thinking of that breaks MY heart...

Thinking back to when Mason came back home from his Glenn in 2008, he was hooked up to oxygen 24/7...we took him to church, to the store, to the kids games, to just about everywhere we could.  His blue little face had the sweetest little smile.  It still does today...
