Gosh I can't believe what we have experienced this year - it has been an emotional year when I reflect on Cody. Let me start in January...That's when my path was totally redirected! I got the news alone @ the NT ultrasound that my child could possibly have Down Syndrome. It was so heartbreaking to hear that my child was not healthy like I thought. In February, an amniocentesis confirmed he does have Down Syndrome, and that we were going to have a boy! In time, after all the shocking news including a hole in the heart, God led me to realize we were special people and to put all trust in Him. In July I had a C-section- Cody James Hintz! He was a trooper. He was in the NICU for eight days until we finally got to bring him home!
A MAJOR thing that weighed on us was his heart surgery which occurred at the end of October at UCSF. That was so emotional for us and are so glad at the results! Cody has done remarkable since his surgery and healed wonderfully. So looking back, I feel incredibly blessed and feel such emotion at how much we had gone through this year. It's been stressful and challenging, but God has changed my heart as well as my son's! Both of my sons are so dear to me and I'm really looking forward to what He has in store for the upcoming year. God bless you in the New Year!!
