Let’s celebrate! Baby Brody is celebrating his one year anniversary from his heart surgery, and we are excited to mark one year of collaboration with GiGi’s Playhouse Down Syndrome Achievement Centers. Together, we have been spreading smiles and support for their incredible members with Down syndrome.
In honor of this celebration, we are giving a FREE Glasses Wall Organizer gift with every prescription glasses purchase in July 2023! Add the wall hanger to your cart and use the code "BRODY" at checkout to get for free.
"Today marks 1 year since Brody's open heart surgery. We found out around 25 weeks through a positive NIPT test that Brody had a 98% chance of having down syndrome.
4 weeks later we received confirmation of his diagnosis when we found from an ultra sound that Brody had a hole in his heart. At the time the sonographer told us they did see a little something but it did not look very significant and had to refer us to Radys cardiology team. From there we learned that Brody actually had a hole in the middle of his heart called a complete AVSD that would require open heart surgery 3-4 months after he was born.
A little less then a year later it was time to put our baby boy in the hands of doctors and had to trust that God was going to take care of him through surgery and recovery. 6 grueling hours of endless thoughts and stress waiting for the call that "your son is out of surgery and in recovery", we received that call and a waive of relief flooded over us.
My momma heart hurts thinking about everything he had to go through but I could not be more proud of who this beautiful little soul is and what he has already overcame in his short life so far. He works so hard every day and is so motivated, it truly amazes me.
We are lucky to have Brody in our lives, he is a living miracle and I can't wait to see how he will impact this world."
