Kerry and I had a rough patch in our relationship, even separated for a few months but with what our family had been through no wonder. Things made us reassess the path we were on. While Fergus was having his procedure I sat in his hospital room and prayed to God that if he would return Fergus to us I would do anything! and I had been trying to do this in my own way. I knew things needed to change.
We made a choice to commit to God and get planted in a local church and to love each other in-spite of our faults and differences, our family is doing wonderfully better now. Life is far from easy but with God we can do anything!
Joshua 1:9 "As for me and my household we will serve the Lord".
In March Fergus had a specialist check up. He had an ECG done the week before and a Sedated ECHO when Dr Clair O'Donnell came for her clinic. JOY! He is managing well which we could see outwardly but with these tests they could see both valves are working as well as they can!
The Mitral valve (had a broad leak before) now has a narrow leak back into the top chamber and the Aortic valve (which had a small teardrop opening before the Cath & balloon opened it) now appears to have two leaflets and has a mild leak both ways. Considering how Fergus was at the beginning, we are AMAZED! He doesn't need surgery for a valve replacement yet, which we were told we needed to get him to two years old for. Now they say he may need replacement valves done anywhere from now up to a teenager. Praise God and the power of praise and prayer.
Luke 1:37 "For nothing is impossible with God".
We have been Home Educating the boys since Jared turned 6 years in May 2010. It's been a full year and we really are enjoying each other and learning together. We have done some fun activities and I can see the boys developing before my eyes. Jared is 7 years, Anton is now 5 years and Fergus 2 1/2 years. They are my precious gifts and through learning at home I get to build a great bond with them while giving them the opportunities to be mature and independent men. I love it!
I have so many blessings! God, Husband, Children, Church, Life!
