18 Days Away

Today I woke up and couldn’t stop staring at this little one. He is the happiest baby and loves to laugh. We are so lucky.
Some moments I forget about his heart condition. But this morning the thought of his upcoming surgery was weighing heavy.
Some days I still can’t believe this is our journey. I would never want to “change” Nolan but I wish I could take his place in the operating room.
I have connected with some amazing heart moms that have made this journey a bit easier. They get it. They lived this. Their babies are so much stronger as a result of their scars.
18 days. Eighteen 18. November 8th is fast approaching.
We keep getting told how much he will change after surgery. I don’t fully understand how but I am excited for his heart to not have to work so hard.
We will get through this. One day at a time and whole lot of prayer.
