Default The latest news on my little man

Hi all, I've been a little MIA lately ... computer problems, general chaos of life, etc. Timothy is doing great and is learning and growing every day. He's really making a lot of progress developmentally and is doing all of the things babies should be doing. He's maybe a couple of months behind because of his hospitalizations, trach and having Down syndrome, but in all, he's a happy little guy.

We found out today that he probably will need heart surgery soon, though, to correct a hole in his heart. We've known this is a possibility since even before he was born, but it looks like it will be sooner rather than later -- probably this fall sometime. I'm a little freaked out about it even though I know that as heart surgeries go, this one is pretty routine and easy. But it's still my baby's HEART, you know!?!?

So, we'd love your prayers and encouraging words ... and designers, MORE doctor/hospital kits are always good! I've used so many already.

Aw, Kara! I am so sorry he has to have surgery!!! I will definitely be praying. He is such a cutie... such a strong boy, we've definitely seen his unbelievable strength. I feel like he will do great through the surgery, but I know what you mean about it being your baby's heart... you will likely be suffering the most. Big HUGS!!

I'm sorry he has to have the surgery! Sending P&PT for him. And I second the medical kit request, though I'd also love one that's more focused on therapy (speech, physical, behavioral, etc) than shots and medicines.

Sending lots of prayers! Surgeries are scary, regardless of how routine they are.

He is just so adorable. I love the baby fuzz for hair on the top of his head. You and him and your family are in my prayers for the surgery, and also for the praise for how much he is growing and learning each day!!

Prayers from here. It's always harder on the mama when the babies are that age. But knowing it doesn't make it any easier!!

Look at that sweet, little face! He's just too adorable!

Will definitely keep you all in my thoughts. I'm so sorry he has to have surgery. He seems like a tough, little dude though.

Aw, he looks adorable! I'm so sorry he has to go through this surgery. I'm sure it is going to be much harder on you than him, but at least you know that at such a young age, he won't remember any of this when he gets a little older.

Kara, my lifelong best friend has a daughter who had a lot of issues with her heart and had to have 4 open heart surgeries in her first year of life. She is now going on 4 years old and is a happy, healthy (for the most part) beautiful young girl. Thanks to the power of prayer and positive thinking! With that being said I want you to know that my family will pray for yours as well. You have a strong little fighter in your son.
