Blessed

I have been completely and utterly blessed with a healthy and beautiful son. I pray everyday that he stays healthy that there are no complications in his life and he grows up to be strong and live his greatest dreams. Why might you ask am i being this sentimental. I have been following a few blogs about babies that have struggles before they were born. I little boy who was diagnosed with heart failure at 20 weeks. He had the odds stacked against him from before he was born but with a little prayer and strength from his family he was born full term!! Amazing but he still has a very long road ahead of him filled with the biggest fight he will make in his life. I pray for him that he is that strong. Or how about the little boy in Spokane who has childhood leukemia?? It makes me think of how blessed i am to have a son who is healthy who i can hold when i want and who at this time i don't have to worry about his future and if he'll even be able to make it to his 1st, 2nd or 10th birthday. When Matt was born he had some problems....he was what seemed to be fighting an infection and his blood sugar was low so he was on an IV for a few days and it seemed to be nothing to be concerned about. I thank god every day that i have a son who is healthy and i pray this if anything is to ever happen to him that i have to strength to help him through something that no child should have to go through at such a young age. They should be playing and learning and making friends but instead many little kids are fighting for their lives just so they can attempt to have a normal childhood later on. I say all this while knocking on wood and many prayers for all those out there who are struggling. Please keep them in your prayers as well.
