Q: DG Darling and The Scherms both asked: “Do you think he will miss (his heart) now?”

AAAWWWW!!! Johanna….she does have great kids and they are incredibly smart!! AND your right, she is SO funny….I miss her!
Thanks! for the answers to the “hmmms” going on inside my head! Still praying for all of you.
I think the thing that has actually been resting on my mind with all of this is that… this blog is going to be SUCH a blessing to him when he is older! He will be able to read and see how VERY MUCH HE IS LOVED! By his family of course, those of us who know you and those who only know him and you from inside their computers.
For better or for worse, this will be so much more meaningful then any words we can tell him would be. You all would never remember ALL of the miriad of feelings you have had through all of this, nor all of the fun little things that have happened… the funny quotes and thoughts of his sisters, and your humor Leighann would have be somewhat lost in the retelling.
The fact that you maintained your wonderful humor through all of this will be a great lesson for all the Hobbits.
Love you guys, Jennifer
ps, if you’re ever looking for a blog post idea, I think you need to have a contest to see who comes up with funniest anagram sentence for the word verification thingie…

I think you should earn some type of honorary medical degree after all this. You know a lot that boys little anatomy. Mind boggling really.
I am glad u post these answers, as I sometimes wonder the same things and don’t ask. My mom and I were just discussing about his sternum, etc. the other night. Good to know. I hope time in the hospital goes quickly and you can get your precious family all under one roof again. Love ya!

WOW!! Can you say “blogtime”. I feel so special. Love you too, Leighann.
Thank you for answering the questions. I agree with another poster that you should recieve an honorary degree when this is all done.
Mom and I were talking about Ryan today. We said that in just 6 short months of life, he has affected so many people (for good). A lot of people come up to me in church and ask about him and mention they have been praying for him. They have never read your blog. I am sure their are others like that plus the 8900 people that read it last week. He is being used by God to show us God’s power. It always amazes me to read the comment section and see how many people care about one sweet little boy. (maybe I am partial)
Well me and my sweet children pray for Ryan everyday. We love him and you very much.
Maybe its because I’m in school but I’m curious if you and Henry are being guided on helping Ryan develop since he can’t be on his belly or has this been put on the second step because of his situation?
God is amazing in taking care of this boy, you all are such a strong inspiration to me!
There are LOTS of people praying for y’all. A whole lot.
I am so glad to read about Ryan’s successful surgery!
I was also wondering about his development, especially since you said that the doctors would be looking into giving him an implant or doing a bone graft at 18-24 months. At what point do they anticipate that he’ll be crawling, walking, etc, and would he use a chest plate until the Fontan? I know that probably seems very far off!
Praying for your little blessing!
I wanted to say “Hi” and let you know that I am praying for you and your family! Your precious little guy is so strong and tough, he has endured so much in his short little life. I pray that he continues to do well so that he may come home and be with his family!!
He IS a an amazing baby and our God is an amazing God to have answered so many prayers for your sweet Ryan. I do have one question. How are YOU? I know that Ryan is in wonderful hands and we are all praying, but how is his Mommy?
