Andreas needs a miracle.



Recently I started following the fight for survival by the most precious little boy, Andreas.  Andreas is a miracle, not expected to live through his first night, he is now 14 months old and fights everyday for his life.  He has severe heart failure, so severe it is an absolute miracle he has survived.

You can follow his journey here

So today I just wanted to say how thankful I am for having 4 healthy boys.  Yes, Oshawott has had his moments, here and here, but we have him in our lives and he is healthy and strong.  The boys fight, they bicker, they whine, they don't listen, they drive me insane at times, but I now just see little Andreas' face in my mind and am so thankful and grateful that they are healthy.  Andreas has touched many lives, and helped parents like myself really stop and smell the roses.

Andreas is going through a very difficult time today, and needs everyone's prayers.

  2. It's amazing how much we take our health for granted when it is one of the most important, if not the most important thing we can have. I too am so thankful that my Mia is a healthy little munchkin.
