Hey there!
You more likely than not, do not know me. The video on YouTube has given my family and I so much hope! I have a little brother that was born with a hole in his heart and further testing found that he had 4 total heart defects. We were told just to wait until he turned blue, and that was our sign that he needed his open heart surgery. That was the first surgery, and it went amazingly well. Now three weeks ago, we found that the valve they removed had hardended tissue surrounding it. We then had to go back to Omaha for another surgery, but less invasive. The surgery didn't go as it was planned, and we then found we'd have to do an open heart again. But before we could do that, his brain started to swell, and his liver and kidneys started to fail. He was filling up with liquids quick, and there was little chance of his survival. My mom and dad had to debate with the idea of doing dyalisis, and have the chance of it not working, and him not living, or just let his organs shut down, and have him go naturally. They chose to do dialysis, and its working. The doctors still do not understand how he is still alive. We all know why of course, starting with all the prayers that have been sent his way. That was two weeks ago, and he is still here.. Still fighting. Just like your little Serenity! I'm so happy you got your miracle, and your video gave me the goosebumps, and I started crying. You have a gorgeous family, and Serenity is precious!
I hope everything is still well with your family, and know that you have a miracle. But I am sure you know!
In God's name,
