And I just echo your words that it is through God that all things are possible. He truly helps us rise to the occassion.

A friend of ours is following your blog and sent us a link to check out your blog (since we also have a DS son who just underwent open-heart surgery)! Last night you popped up on our blog (we're very new to this blog thing...) and said YOU had found US, and that you'd be following our little Logan:) It's a small world I guess:) At any rate, we absolutely fell in love with your pictures of Bennet, and your pictures after the surgery really gave us an idea of what to expect. It's great to get in touch with you. (By the way, I'm from Lancaster, PA, and was amazed you went to CHOP! That's awesome!) Good luck to you and your family, and we'll be following your blog as well. (Hopefully we can email each other tips for raising our boys:)Chris and Kiretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09544576988267494838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712724707041141717.post-53094874237299926682009-08-19T02:14:54.760-04:002009-08-19T02:14:54.760-04:00Thanks so much for your inspiring posts.

I tear up every time I think about handing her over to the doctors, wondering if it will be the last time I see her precious blue eyes. The only thing that gives me hope and comfort right now is reading all of the blogs about children like Bennett who've already gone through the surgery and are doing so well.

Prior to his death my sister and I would often talk about how difficult it would be if one of our parents passed away. We couldn't imagine getting through something like that. Than the unthinkable happened but God was there. He gave us strength I didn't know was possible at the time.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your story and thoughts - it's such a good reminder to trust and lean on the One who cares so much for us.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13884926543146157724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712724707041141717.post-31449980599946975352009-08-18T13:47:01.705-04:002009-08-18T13:47:01.705-04:00So very true, from a mother who's been through...So very true, from a mother who's been through many hardships in the last year and a half, it is so true that God gives you strength to deal with things you never would have thought you could handle. I never thought I could handle the loss of my mom, the loss of our foster daughter who was with us for a year and a half, or having to see one of my parents battle cancer. And yet, God has given me the strength to deal with all these things at once! Now, there are bad days, and days that I don't feel strong, but God is always there!!
