Baby Maverick

This blog was created to keep family and friends updated on what's going on with the pregnancy, birth, and surgical plan for Maverick. We'll also be able to keep everyone updated during his surgery and recovery and hopefully be able to show you some cute pictures of him, Maddie, Carter and Chloe along the way.

This was the original intent; however, when we started this blog we had no idea the twists and turns our lives would take. Our sweet baby Maverick was born September 12, 2008 with Transposition of the Great Arteries, ASD, and VSD. We expected to have a baby boy to bring home three to four weeks after his surgery. He had numerous complications after his arterial switch and fought through many that would have taken the life from an adult. He passed away February 24, 2009 - without ever coming home.

This blog is now a place I share my feelings, work through the grief, remember Maverick, and try to make sense out of our life without him. I hope in doing so I am giving a name and a face to babies everywhere born with congenital heart defects.

Maddie and Her Medal!

Yea, Maddie! She and I went to the OKC Memorial Marathon today and completed the kids marathon. The kids train for 25 miles in the month or so prior to the marathon and complete the last 1.2 miles on the day of the race. She was so proud. She's such a sweet girl.

Good job, Maddie! I'm proud of you. I hope that when Olivia gets old enough, she'll be interested in this too. Keep running!

Oh, and by the way, are you doing the long jump at the Little Olympics AND the conference track meet? Good luck!
