Proof That Miracles Do Happen

Dear Kyle,

At the incredibly young age of just 7 days old you were forced to fight for your life.

The pain you endured still brings tears to my eyes...

You were put on life support...& had open heart surgery at 10 days old...

Our lives were turned upside down in a blink of an eye...

But you're proof that miracles do happen. You fought for your life -- and you won. You overcame endless obstacles - achieving milestone after milestone, goal after goal. With each passing moment on the clock your heart became stronger & stronger. Within weeks we knew, without a doubt, that you had the will to survive.

And now, here we are. 5 1/2 yrs later. You have no developmental delays. You've been running full speed ahead since the day you learned how to walk.

And your cardiologist has given you full permission to participate in some sports, something he originally said you'd "never" be able to do.

Never say never, right?
On Saturday 2/27/10 you joined a gym class. For the very first time!

Here's one of your biggest fans cheering you on:

Here you are warming up:
(you're in the middle with the black shirt & blue jeans)

Stretch those arms..

Backwards crawling:

Here you are running full speed ahead:

Playing basketball:

You had such a fun time!!

Can you do a split..??

Not quite..but I maybe next time!

I'd have to say, without a doubt, that you are proof that miracles do happen!
