Perspective

My past few posts have been pretty full of whining and complaining. I haven't had the best of time the last couple of weeks - but I have to tell you that my week is NOTHING compared to what my friend Chelsea is going through. Nothing.

As I write this, her barely 1 year old son, Brayden, is in surgery. Brayden was diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease with 2 different congenital defects. One is in his aorta, and the other is his mitral valve. He is a very sick little boy.

As I held Keaton this morning, I just couldn't imagine going through all that Chelsea and Brayden are going through. Facing the obstacles that they are facing. I may whine and complain and feel overwhelmed with all of the garbage going on in my life, but I have to remember that someone else always has it rougher than I do.

Please pray for Brayden and Chelsea. If you're not the praying type - then send them some positive thoughts, please.

If you want to follow up on Brayden, here is his blog: Brayden's Journey.

If you want to spread the word, I made this (I have no SKILLS, yo. If someone with skills wants to fix it up, go for it.):


Over here, we're praying for the best possible outcome from this surgery and all the ones to come.
