So the other day I was flipping threw the Desert book catalog and a book caught my eye. The name sounded so familiar and then when I read the little summary I knew exactly who it was. While I was in the hospital last year there was this 30 something year old guy cruzing the Primary Children hospital halls right along with me. I didn't know much about his condition all I knew was that he was waiting for a transplant and we had the same surgeon. Also it gave me comfort knowing I wasnt the oldest patient in the hospital! I would see him the the hall pushing his Iv pole and O2 just like me, also one Sunday he gave a amazing testimony in the little "Hospital ward" we could go to. Also I wasn't able to have my surgery on Friday because a heart was found and he was able to have his transplant so I got bumped! So apparently he is a LDS music composer and he wrote a book about his experience with a congenital heart defect. He also has a blog that I have been addicted to reading! ( http://mytricuspidatresia.blogspot.com/ ) Anyways, its been a year since his transplant so that means it has almost been a year since my last two heart surgerys. I remember being so mad when he got to go home before me! Shoot he got a new heart you, would have thought I could have recovered faster from two surgery's! So all these memories just made we really think about how blessed I am. How merciful the Lord is to his children. How he can heal peoples heart physically and spiritually every day for millions and billions of people!
I cant believe its been almost a year since my last surgery's! How things have changed! How I am so healthy and so happy. I would have never thought that would happy a year ago! Also I cant believe that in a short year how sick my brother has got. Shoot even in the last six make that three months! Now its him siting in the hospital bed trying to see a light in all the crazy hospital gloom! I guess its true when they say that you never know what lies ahead of you! So in short what I learned is don't wait to do things. Make every second count because you never know! Make sure you love as much as you can, experiences as much as you can and do as much good in the world as you can!
These pics my dad gladly sent me that he found on his phone! He is so nice to capture my happy moments last year :)
