Grandson
I am writing this letter to let people know how CHD can change your life in an instant.
It changes every family member's life forever.
I am Logan Jack's Grandma and I love him dearly. I will NEVER forget the phone call on November 17th from Logan's mom telling me of the doctor visit. I was driving home at the time. I cried the rest of the way home. I pulled into the garage, parked and cried. My husband came out to see what was wrong. I told him. Sometimes it seems like it was just yesterday.
It is so hard for the whole family including his big brother Wyatt. We spent a lot of time together during the hospital stays and the little guy had a lot of questions. It was very hard to keep a happy face when Logan, his mom and dad were at the hospital undergoing surgeries and recovery. The minutes can seem like hours and when the phone rings it can terrify you. I am so thankful for the Carepages where the families can update and still be close to their children.
People don't realize when the children come home how much constant care that the children need and once again it was hard for Wyatt. Logan would get sick and the family would be running all over trying to grab towels and take care of him without the time to explain to Wyatt what was going on. Little Logan was sick one minute and smiling the next over and over again.
I can't imagine how hard it is on the mom and dad. They never get to get away from the worry and stress. It is the little smiles and the hugs that keep you going.
Our faith has become stronger as each day goes by and you don't realize how this changes your life until it happens to you. Then you start reading the Carepages and see how many little children have this condition.
We are so thankful to God for little Logan and worry about the next procedure. You never know what the older children in the family are really going thru. Not to long ago Wyatt and I were lying together and he said, I am glad my little brother is a survivor. He is so young himself to know what that word means.
Logan's condition has changed our whole life, but we are so happy to have him in our lives. I am so thankful that on that scary, scary day that the doctor recognized he had a problem, and we started this journey.
Love Grandma Connie
