He made it to 8!!! Yes what a celebration. If you would have told me 8 years ago that the day would come and Jaxsten would be as healthy as he is I would have not believed you. Wow! How far this kid has come and the fights he has won to get here.
Yes this was my little Jaxsten 8 years ago right before he went in for his first open heart surgery. 5 days old. He was so perfect on the outside. Such a beautiful little boy. It was hard to wrap my thoughts and feelings about what was going on in the inside of him. I can remember right before they took him in I leaned down to give him a kiss hoping it would not be my last and placing my ear to his chest to listen to his tiny half a heart beating. It was beating so strong. and has been beating just as strong ever since.
Then he went on to have the 2nd Open Heart Surgery at a little over 4 months. Then a 3rd and 4th just before he turned 2 years old. Jaxsten has been through so much. So many close calls. But he has been such a strong little fighter. "A TRUE SUPER HERO"
So now here we are today... eight great but trying years later and he is doing soooo Amazing!! He is my little Hero. I am so proud of him and the little man he has become. The wonderful choices he has made. He is such a great big brother and his little half a heart is so tender. He may only have half a heart but that half has a whole lot of love.
We count our blessings every day we wake up and realize Jaxsten is still with us here on this earth. Love you forever Jaxsten.... Forever and Always
