Heart surgery

So last week we found out Tre will be having his 4th open heart surgery in December.. At first it was a shock and i cried a lot. But i knew this was coming but i guess i was expecting it for next year not this year. Many people keep asking how i am.. I am doing a lot better i just have a lot to do before his surgery. This is the first surgery where we have 4 kids and a puppy. Thank God a friend is going to keep Tre's puppy which tre is upset about but i keep telling him she will be back as soon as he comes home. We also had to arrange with the school for at home tutoring and child care for 2 of the three kids cause the baby has to come with us. As a heart mom we are strong but we do have our moments when we need to cry or a hug. It's not that i am weak it is just that i am human. There also time when we have to pray for strength and try not to let our kids see us crying so they don't worry..

Life

Tre had a full repair when he was 10 months old and his first cath at 2 years old because he was not gaining wait. Come to find out he had an aneurism on his heart from the patch being to big when they did the full repair and he had a narrowing where the shunt had been.. So he had to have another open heart surgery a week latter. At the time we also found out we were having another child. So Tre became a big brother a couple months after his third open heart surgery and he has been a great big brother. Tre ended up with another cath in March of 2008 and another one in August of 2009. He is know looking at his 4^th open heart surgery in December of this year..
Tre over the years has become a big brother to 3 siblings and has been very active and a loving child he is know in 2^nd grade and doing great. He has taught me so much over the years and he loves God. He loves to go to church and to pray every night.. He can climb walls and he loves spending time with his siblings and his new puppy… He is a little behind in school because of the surgeries but is making great progress… I thank God for giving me such a wonderful Child…

The Begining

Were to begin my story. I guess at the begin would be the best . I have read many people blogs on there children and how they found out while they were pregnant that they were becoming a heart mom. Well not me… I had a typical pregnancy I was a week over due when I went to the doctor and asked could I be induced.. He told me if the baby was not here by next Wednesday then I could be induced then. Well before he sent me home he wanted me to be on the monitor for an hour. Well the baby heart was fluctuating so he told me that they were going to induce me that day. Put a long story short after 3 days of labor and no baby they decided on a emergency c- section. Treshawn Isaiah Johnson came in the world at 7:36 pm on May 4, 2003. He stayed in the delivery room with me for about and hour and then. She said she was having issues getting his pulse and wanted to take him up to the nursery, as I was coming out of recovery. They were coming down the hall saying he need to go to intensive care. They think something was wrong with his heart. At 8 am that next morning they came in saying my child need to be taken to Cleveland Clinic because he needs surgery he had a hole in his heart. I said not without me. So they transferred us both with in an hour that were I learned he had tetralogy of fallot. He was going in for his first open heart surgery the next morning. At 2 day old my son had his first open heart surgery to put a shunt in.. He was in the hospital for 11 days .. I swear the day Tre was born he taught me how to pray. I thought all my life that I knew how to pray but I was wrong. I also learned a lot about myself that I was stronger then I thought.
