It's May...already?

Ughh!! Where is this year going? Wasn't it just Christmas? I swear the days just keep going by its just ridiculous!! Well, lately things are going good. Kayden is getting better since they increased his lasix. He is still using oxygen at night time. Except tonight before bed he was at 96 so I left it off, when I give him his 11pm medicines I'll check it. They want it above 90, so that is what we are aiming at! If he stays off of it tonight that will mean the lasix is definitely helping get that fluid off of him!! He has to go to his cardiologist on Tuesday so pray that all goes well there.

On a second note, Tavion will be 2 in almost a week!! I can not believe it!! He should still be like 6 months right? lol. So much has happened since he was born I can't keep up anymore lol. This year we are gunna be doing Toy Story for his theme! Last year we went to the zoo in North Carolina & we done Curious George. He had such a great First birthday!! This year I think we are going to stay home since Kayden is still recovering. Tavion doesn't mind..We have like a park in our backyard anyways, swingset, trampoline & we'll be getting a sandbox soon..& Never forget the 3 little pups, they are getting bigger everyday but are soo adorable!!

The other kids are good too. We are getting prepared for Alexis' ballet recital on May 21, which I am super excited about. She is going to do so good & look beautiful as always! She is such a beautiful ballerina! Her & Lyndsee's little fun day for preschool is coming up, I can not believe she will be in kindergarten this fall!! I miss her being a baby. But she will always be my baby girl no matter how big she gets!! Anyways please continue to pray for my little man as he continues to heal & for all of the other CHD families!!

About Me

My name is Misty. I'm 26 years old from Roanoke, VA. I am a single mom to my little ones. I've got 5 kids. Alexis, Kayden, Tavion & Isaiah. Kayden is my little Angel, he went to live with the Angels July 14, 2011 waiting on a heart transplant, he was 3.5 years old. Alexis is my oldest she is almost 9, Tavion is 5, Isaiah is 4, and Elijah is 4 months. I enjoy reading, watching movies, blogging, quiet nights(when possible), and long drives listening to music. I started blogging to tell people about Kayden's journey with a broken heart, now it's about life with him as an Angel & how I deal and you'll also get to know my other little ones. You can also visit Kayden's page at www.kaydenjames.weebly.com or on facebook at www.facebook.com/KaydenJamesCHDAngel

My Family

Little Miss Lexi

Alexis is my first child & my only girl. She was born on February 9, 2006. I found out I was pregnant with Lexi 2 months after I had a miscarriage. I was quite surprised that I was pregnant but I was excited along with scared and nervous. She is the best big sister anyone could ask for. She helps with her brothers & she helps me if I need her to..She is a very smart little girl as well, right now she is in preschool. I can't believe my baby girl is almost in Kindergarten. It's true that time doesn't stop for nothing.

Superman

Kayden took his first breath on December 21, 2007 and took his last breath on July 14, 2011. Kayden was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate, dilated cardiomyopathy & a displaced tricuspid valve with tricuspid regurgitation. He had 6 surgeries in his 3 1/2 years. He had 3 to complete his cleft lip/palate, pyloric stenosis at a month old, a preauricular cyst removed & open heart surgery on March 17, 2011. He always had a smile on his face no matter how many challenges were thrown his way. I miss my child more than anything in this world. I love Kayden more than words can ever say. I am broken and will never be repaired, he was my life & my heart is shattered since he lost his battle with his CHD. I'll never stop telling his story because people need to be aware of what is possible & I would like to think that Kayden's life will save another child.

Crazy Tavy

My middle boy, Tavion James. Tavion was born on May 13, 2009 at 37 weeks. He was my biggest yet shortest baby born lol! He is a handful right now he is at the age he wants to get into everything. Although he is small still he holds his ground and has an attitude. He is starting to get into the terrible twos which is never fun but we will survive. He's an amazing little boy and always keep us smiling. Tavion has no health problems that we've noticed and hopefully he continues to stay that way.

Superman's Baby

Isaiah James was welcomed into the world on December 16, 2010 at 3:02 a.m. He weighed 7 lbs 11 oz. & was 20 1/2 inches!! He had a head full of beautiful black hair (just like his sister did). Kayden absolutely loved him and called him his baby. He's so full of energy, loves his brothers and his sister.
My Rainbow

Elijah was born on August 22, 2014, he was 7 lbs 14.8 oz. He's an absolute blessing. Elijah is my rainbow baby, I was so unsure about having more kids after I lost Kayden, but now I see Kayden picked this little fella to send me. I couldn't imagine my life without him. His smile brightens up my darkest day.
