The price of normalcy












  1. Praying. I think you've done the right thing. You'll get through this. God's grace only comes in the moment it's needed.
    PS-I've kinda enjoyed "lock-down." It's been a good way to focus more on my kids.

  2. I can relate to all of this! We have lived worry-free in all sorts of child-centered germy places for the past year. From spending Mason's first year and a half in isolation, it was so nice to get out and just be normal.

    Like you, we've got a cath coming up that we're in isolation for. Not only does Mason not really understand, my 4yr old isn't real excited about it, either.

    I guess I'm just saying I get it.

    Prayers and Hugs!


  3. Oh friend, you have hit the proverbial nail on the head for me. I literally get breathless when I think about Luke realizing what's in store for him. He has NO idea. Just the other day a family friend was talking about heart problems and said something like, "Kinda like your heart problems, Luke." Luke looked at him like he was crazy! "I don't have any heart problems!" What in the world?! I know we've let him live fully, but he is really in the dark and that scares me for when we face the Fontan. Bodie (and all of you!) are in my prayers.

  4. I also do not shelter Stevie, and I've never thought of what could lie ahead with his next surgery. I sure do wish you guys all the best. Praying that it goes smoothly. Eventually he will understand you always did what was best for him.

  5. Beautifully written- you are an awesome mom and finding that "balance" with these special hearts we've been given is a challenge. I think you're doing amazingly well and Bodie will too because he's got you! Keeping your family in my prayers...

  6. Thank you for always so openly sharing what is on your heart. I know exactly how you feel. Hug. Praying for you guys Amy.

  7. You said it perfectly and beautifully, and it's 100% truth for a heart mom...Praying the upcoming cath and surgery and for your momma heart to find peace and rest in God's perfect plan and timing. Hugs!

  8. Enjoying all the pictures you post. You have 2 beautiful children. I love the pictures of Bodie when he is "shall we say, a little unhappy." Very cute and the bottom lip says a lot. LOL Prayers are with you and yours.
