ONE Year Heart Anniversary

This week we celebrated the ONE year anniversary of Owen's second heart transplant.  This year has been one full of miracles.  The blessings have been overwhelming and this boy continues to amaze us all.  Not only is he a huge personality, but he has had to overcome so many obstacles to get to this point and he keeps on surprising us all.  He never gives up!  

One year ago we got another miracle..

After a speedy recovery he was back at the RMH in less than a week.

A few months later, he had packed on the pounds (thanks to the steroids) and we removed his Gtube.  For the first time in 9 1/2 years, he was tube free!  A few months later, in January, we celebrated 10 years (a DECADE) with this boy!!!  What a journey it has been and such a blessing.

Happy Heart Anniversary buddy!!  Every moment has been worth it.. you have changed us all for the better.  To our donor angels.. we love you and will never take a day for granted as you gave us the greatest gift of all.  This weekend we are writing our first letter to this donor family.  I hope that we can express our love and gratitude to them.  Become an organ donor.. it changes lives. :)
