Nick's Heart Story: THANK YOU

http://nicksheartstory.blogspot.com/2010/06/thank-you.html

Well, last night was the fundraiser for Nick's heart surgery in just a few days. We want to express our deepest. To all of you who helped to make the event turn out so wonderfully. There was such an amazing turn out of friends, family, and community. There were so very many awesome donations made. In addition to the super-cool kids motorcycle donated by Rexburg Motor Sports, one of the other popular big-ticket items was a last minute donation of a 2 year old HORSE! Our hearts are full and our cup runneth...

Nick's Heart Story

http://nicksheartstory.blogspot.com/2008/10/well-as-usual-were-headed-down-to.html

Well, as usual, we're headed down to Primary Children's to spend another holiday. For just a check up this time-just your basic echocardiogram, ekg, x-ray and visit with the doc thankfully. And actually, he's pretty excited to see Dr. Cowley- Halloween. Or not. In fact, instead of worrying about going trick-or-treating and showing off his Batman costume he's been telling me repeatedly that he wants to take Dr. Cowley a trick-or-treat!

Nick's Heart Story

http://nicksheartstory.blogspot.com/2010/06/they.html

THEY GOT. IT. OUT! Just LOOK at this massive ugly thing! THIS was inside Nicks heart. Do you realize that this is practically as big as Nicks heart? Amazing and Miraculous. The Lord has truly blessed us with a miracle. How they accomplished getting this mass out is beyond me. Thank goodness for the Lords guiding hands and blessings, amazing surgeons with incredible knowledge and skill, fasting and prayer, love and support, and faith. We feel so blessed. BEST ANNIVERSARY GIFT EVER! Super Nick and his Fam.

Nick's Heart Story: In the Waiting Room

http://nicksheartstory.blogspot.com/2010/06/in-waiting-room.html

In the Waiting Room. We did take the opportunity to let him do some swimming at the hotel though on both Sunday and Monday nights. (Since he wont have the opportunity to do any more swimming (most likely) for the remainder of the summer.) That made him happy and we were lucky to have the pool pretty much to ourselves. =). Everyone was so impressed with this sweet little guy and his understanding of things and vocabulary. He didn't cry when they wheeled him away or anything. He was a little nervou...I'll ...

Nick's Heart Story: ITCH

http://nicksheartstory.blogspot.com/2010/06/itch.html

Will help. He is unbelievably uncomfortable. Even his little face is puffy. Itch is one of the worst feelings. And there's just so little that anyone can do to help. =( Hoping that this clears up soon! Super Nick and his Fam. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Nick's Heart Story: Home and trying to heal =)

http://nicksheartstory.blogspot.com/2010/07/home-and-trying-to-heal.html

Home and trying to heal =). So, we've been home now for almost a full 10 days, and My! How the time flies by! Nick is doing well, taking it slow and easy, and maintaining some distance from the outside world. He's been pretty tired still, but thankfully not in too much pain. It has just felt like the right thing to let him have a bit of space to rest and heal and so we've tried to politely ask family and friends to give him a little while longer before they pay him a visit. It's been a real lifesaver whe...

Nick was delighted to see Dr. Cowley (of course), and was treated wonderfully while we were there (of course). I am always so impressed with how out of their way the staff at Primary Children's Hospital goes to light up these little one's days. It truly is a place where Angels walk. Super Nick and his Fam. Nick makes a very cute batman! I too am excited to see how far a hospital will go to make these kids days. Director of Blogger Networks. March 24, 2010 at 3:47 PM.

Nick's Heart Story

http://nicksheartstory.blogspot.com/2010/06/today-nick-has-been-awake-lot-more.html

Today Nick has been awake a lot more. =) Talking a lot of nonsense? Yes Having a hard time to find the right word? Yes But awake and able to tell us what it is he wants? YES It's funny how much you can miss that little voice. He's finally able to have some real food. His appetite isn't much, and most foods don't quite taste normal yet (probably related to the anesthesia he's had- sometimes leaves a residual icky taste for a while). And he smiled this HUGE smile of relief and said "YES. Watermelon is.

http://nicksheartstory.blogspot.com/2010/05/well-nicks-heart-surgery-has-been.html

Well, Nicks heart surgery has been scheduled and "set in stone" (according to the Mayo staff) for June 15th. We will try to head out to MN on the 12th. have the 13th to find our way around, the 14th will be a full day of doctor appointments and pre-op testing (starting at 6:30am and going on until about 4pm), and then early on the 15th will be the operation. Well a couple of weeks ago, Nick initiated this conversation with me out of the blue one afternoon:. Yeah I forgot to do that, didn't I? Yeahhhh&#46...
