Not so bad, that's how the blood draw was this morning. It can be very emotional, for me and for TJ. But today not so bad.
They managed to hit the vein on the first shot, TJ didn't squirm or cry that bad, and we were done in no time. It's a new thing for us.
I have no idea what this blood work will tell us. I prepare myself for bad, because otherwise it hits me too hard. I really don't think he's that different than he was a couple weeks ago so the numbers will probably be about the same.
His Liver function is what worries me. I hope it hasn't gotten worst. But I really have n ogauge for that.
I should hear tomorrow, late. So until then we carry on. Life can't stop all together.
Who Am I?
- Lori
- I'm a piano teacher, a wife and a SAHM with an amazing child. During the summer of 2007 our once healthy child fought and battled for his life in a way I could never have understood. The result was a Heart Transplant and a new life. This new life isn't always easy or fun. But it makes you thankful for a lot of little things. I'm trying to regain my identity and at the same time build a life and a family.

July 18, 2007 Back in my arms, it has been over a month since I held TJ. He received his new heart on July 16, 2007, this was taken on July 18, 2007. He was a 30 lb newborn. He had no strength and couldn't even hold his head up.

TJ - June 15, 2007 What happened to my Baby?
Oh My God. How did we get here? I asked that continually. My healthy child was being kept alive with machines and we had no warning. June 12, 2007 we took him to the ER, he suffered a cardiac arrest and nothing would ever be the same again.
TJ with Berlin Heart, finally awake and back with us.
TJ finally is able to be awake and moving, it has been a month since he had his cardiac arrest. Here he is with his Berlin Heart able to play with a balloon.
1 hour before TJ's transplant
We need to occupy some time, Randy, Pap Pap and I sat with TJ, playing with Daddy's cell phone. We knew the team was already at the other hospital, we had 1 hour until they were going to take TJ to the OR. The nerves you feel at this moment as undescribeable. You can't cry, because you don't want to upset your child, but just thinking about what the docs were about to do really unnerved me.
