Sonny's Patch

ite the rough, lengthy recoveries and feeding complications early in his life, he has always remained a happy, and very affectionate little boy. He was doing well after recovering from his last surgery in July. 2 weeks ago he came down with something that a Pediatrician diagnosed as a common cold. A week later on, November 3rd, he was sitting playing with his toys on the floor in our living room when suddenly he began screaming and slumped over. I picked him up and changed his diaper and noticed immediately he was having all the symptoms of a stroke on the left side of his body. We raced him to the local hospital and then he was flown to Children's National Hospital in D.C. The amazing care team of Nurses, cardiologists, Neurologists and many other specialists ran many tests and are doing all they can to keep him stable as possible and resting so that his brain can heal. If Any money received will go to help us cover his medical expenses and his parents traveling expenses. Prayers, encouragement, and supportive messages for our Heart Warrior can be left in the comment box and I will read them to him as they come. I am humbled and enlightened to know that so many people have come together to support us over these past few days. He is such a fighter! Thank you!


*UPDATE:
Sonny is recovering very well from the effects of a stroke, however his heart didn't regain enough strength to sustain him. So he needs a heart transplant, on Christmas Eve he was approved and put on the transplant list. Now we are waiting for the call saying that that there is a heart that will be just right for him. Our goal is to raise awareness of Congenital Heart defects and to proudly share our precious Son's journey. Any donations received will go to help his family with the extra traveling expenses as well as helping to pay Sonnys medical bills. Thank you to everyone who has liked and shared this page. Please continue to share our updates!
