I met this amazing young man yesterday.Michael is 19, High School Grad, with his Associates Degree, all from a PUBLIC school, he is looking forward to receiving his mission call soon. Michael has had the Glen, Fontan, Pulmonary valve replacement, Aortic valve replacement, Pacemaker. When he was born they treated him as a Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome ( Severin is Hypoplastic Right) It was discovered at age 6 his Left ventrical had grown, and he was able to be "replumbed" to a functional 4 chamber heart! Michael was super sweet as I drilled him with questions. Litterally I don't think I stopped for over an hour! I have so many unknowns about Severins future. He answered so many of the "what ifs". He is an awesome young man. He has a bright future, I hope to be his friend for a very long time. My heart is so full of gratitude for this boy, he has given me HOPE for my son. Hope is all I can ask for at this time. I can not put into words how much it meant to me to be able to ask the hard questions to someone who could tell me an honest answer. Thank you, Thank you Michael, May God bless and keep you through your life journey, You are the BEST! And thank you Tyler for bringing us together.
I live by that remarkable young man. Many times I remember all the ward fasts and prayers. I don't know why I have never thought of introducing you to him. Tyler is pretty great to.
