(his nurses thought his monkey was so cute, they'd always arrange him in cute positions around Bodie)...
Post-Op Shunt Revision / Pacemaker MRSA Admission
One of his first car trips on "the outside"
Post-Op Glenn
First trip to Palm Springs (you can see Momo's eyes on the bottom right of the pic - and the aforementioned Tigger at the top)
Assuming his now usual position, snuggled in Bodie's arms, as Bodie's sleeps tonight...
The thing is, as often happens with belongings of any child after the first, we truly have no idea where Momo came from. We don't think he was a Sierra hand-me-down, but I suppose someone could have given him to us as a gender neutral gift before she was born (we didn't find out the sex of either kid until d-day). But we think someone gave it to us specifically for Bodie. So if you did, would you mind telling us? Because we'd sure love to give you a big THANK YOU. Bodie loves his Momo. And we love seeing him so happy.
This blog update and the photos melt my heart. They remind me of Logan's old lovey, "Baby", his stuffed bear blanket. It was there through all of his surgeries and was treasured so much that we had to buy three backups. It too was a gift from someone. He has just outgrown it this past year, just in time to start preschool this fall, and at times it makes me sad. My sweet little guy who could't go anywhere without it is now brave enough to do everything without it. He does have a stuffed Mickey Mouse, "Mickey Baby", as he calls him that he has now latched onto but it isn't the same as when he had his first "Baby". Treasure Bodie's time with his lovey!
ReplyDeleteHow precious! You can really see how much Bodie has grown next to Momo. Sweet memories.
ReplyDeleteDerrick has "DD," his blanket. Like Momo, DD was around at the hospital from the beginning so they have many memories together. Derrick LOVES DD and I'm so glad! This mama had to have a pinch hitter too. ;)

ReplyDeleteMy name is Nick Tierney, with HealthTheater Networks. I just discovered your blog Hope for Baby Bennett, loved your content, and thought we might have something to contribute.
We are a top health video production company with several videos about different aspects of cardiology--all featuring real people telling the story of their personal battle with the condition. In fact, we just filmed a few new powerful stories on heart murmurs and arrhythmia in teenagers.
Feel free to check out my favorite one here: http://www.healththeater.com/video/Paroxysmal_Supraventricular_Tachycardia_PSVT__Eriks_Story_id486.html?playlist_id=259
We are interested in syndicating these videos through our player to your website, for free, in exchange for the targeted visibility that exposure on your site would provide.
In addition, we recently attended the 59th Annual Mended Hearts Convention, and we are interested in growing our library of video content with more CHD stories. If of interest to you, would you be willing to share video content about your story with us?
If interested, could we please schedule a short call to explain further?

The monkey looks like it was made by Gund. The eyes are their style. I will have an eye out for his backup Momo.
