Introduction	James and I married 4 days after 9-11-2001, and 6 1/2 years later we got to experience the greatest gift God allows on this earth, having a baby boy. He was born 3-18-2008 and has been a fighter for his very own life since his first breath. Jaden was born with a Right Hyploplastic Heart and 4 other heart defects that was unknown until birth. He developed Hydrocephalus due to a grade 3-4 Brain Hemorrhage during his first Open Heart surgery. We spent the first 4 months of life in the NIC-U at Kosair Childrens Hospital and to date he has underwent 17 major surgeries. Jaden was diagnosed with Spastic Cerebral Palsy on his 2nd Birthday along with a vision delay called Cortical Visual Impairment/Optic Nerve Damage. We praise the Lord that Jaden's heart is fully repaired now since March 23, 2009 when he underwent his second Open Heart to finish the final repairs. We are so thankful for our Salvation and through Christ's mercy and grace, He has never left us during this rough time in our lives. We are looking forward to Jaden recovering and getting to catch up. He truly amazes us. We are so blessed to have such great Family and Friends. Thank you for all your prayers for our family.
