Can many say that they completed as much as Will did in 4 1/2 short months? He had 3 ambulance rides--1 in utero, 1 on his birthday, and 1 at 12 days of age....and, I have had only one in my life (and, William was there!!) 2 open heart surgeries, 2 attempted cardiac catheterizations, multiple (okay, multiple, multiple) feeding tubes. Still not sure how one little finger could hook that tube and pull it out in no time flat. William had 11 different cardiologists see him, 2 cardiac surgeons, so many NPs (his mommy kind of likes this one, she is a little partial to NPs), so many nurses watch and love him day in and day out. 2 amazing fundraisers, 3 newspaper articles, and a Firetruck ride to his final resting place. And, after that final ride, William still managed to find his commercial debut. He has spots on 2 different Children's Mercy Hospital commercials. If you are ever at our house and one comes on, be prepared for the TV to pause, so we can have our moment with the beautiful red-headed baby boy. The list of William's accomplishments in his 4 1/2 months goes on and on.
But, his memory shines the brightest in our home. We talk about William with Mackenzie and Carson all the time. I never want their memories to fade. I want them to know that he was a miracle and now works Miracles. The love of a family never fails. And, this is what seems to make the darkest days a little better.
Chris and I cry for our littlest man every day. We ache to hold him. But, we know that William is now holding us. He watches over his mommy and daddy. He helps his big sister and big brother every day. Will still brings us to smile as we cry. Happy 10 months, Baby Boy!!!
