wanted to talk about something that is dear to our hearts right now. our friends matt and sarah had their baby boy, Bowen, last thursday. Bowen was born with a serious and rare congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. He had his first heart surgery this past monday. everything looked great until that night when he crashed. they had to watch as nurses pumped his little heart for nearly an hour. the surgeon got there and performed surgery on little Bowen. they put Bowen on life support and he was in critical condition.

thankfully, bowen is doing great today. they started weaning him off life support and so far has been doing wonderfully! many people are praying for this dear little boy and i want to ask you to continue. i cannot fathom what matt and sarah are going through. please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they are facing this difficult time. everything is looking better but they are constantly in fear that things could take a turn for the worse again. pray that they have an overwhelming peace and that little bowen's heart gets stronger and stronger. this little baby has had to fight for his life and he wasn't even a week old yet.

if you would like to keep up on their story go here


thank you so much,

a mom who is holding her healthy baby so much closer.
