Happy 1 Year Anniversary Trey! :)


Yes, you are correct, Trey is much too young to be married! :) Today is the 1 year anniversary of his open heart surgery at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor! Most of you know a birth defect was found last year around the 4th of July, but he couldn't get in for surgery until September 6th. Trey's left coronary artery was not attached to his heart and therefore the right coronary artery was doing all of the work. I took the pic above last summer. I was unemployed at the time. Trey couldn't do anything that would raise his heart rate. So, he couldn't do any physical activity. He was off school for the summer and he is an only child, so we was quite bored! It was rough! I took a day and went up to St. Joseph, MI to hang out with him. We went out to eat, went to see a Movie and I took him to Wal-Mart so he could pick out something to keep him occupied. He picked a model car that he could put together and paint. It kept him busy for a little while! I am so grateful to God for sparing Trey's life, especially on this 1 year anniversary! He could have easily died suddenly while playing sports, had this birth defect not been found. Trey's Dr.'s cleared him to be able to play contact sports again this past March. He is back to being his active self and is even playing football at his school this year! He just started the 8th grade and he will be 14 on October 15th! I wonder what amazing plans the Lord has for this boy's future? He was given a second chance at life, and for that we will always be grateful! I'm looking forward to seeing where God leads Trey during his next 14 years of life!
