The week of Dawson's surgery

Brandon (Jackson's brother) and his wife Kandra's little boy Dawson needed to have open heart surgery. The best place to have that surgery was here at Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. Dawson was diagnosed in March with "Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return". Which as Kandra said on facebook, "Basically the veins that come from his lungs aren't even connected to the left ventricle like it's suppose to be. Instead the veins go to a superior vein that dumps straight into the right ventricle." Which makes the right side of his heart really large because all the blood is being pumped into that one side instead of both as it's suppose to. So Dawson was scheduled to have his surgery the last week of May. Since we live here in Utah and because Jackson's parents, who live in Twin Falls, wanted to be here for Brandon and his family they asked if they could stay at our house.  So this short post is about the week of Dawson's surgery and Vern and Toni's visit.

During that week, lots happened; when Jackson's parents weren't at the hospital visiting Dawson they took us out for dinner one night, they drove me around so I could pick up some baby items that I bought through facebook yard sales, we stayed up late watching movies, we walked around the City Creek Center Mall, and of course Grandpa and Grandma Plott had fun hanging out with Braxton! 

It was a great visit and better yet Dawson is doing great! He had his surgery on a Wednesday and left the hospital on Saturday! Jackson and I even got to go visit Dawson on Friday before he left the hospital. It was great to see him do so well! I truly am impressed with how short his stay was at the hospital; the Lord works in miraculous ways and I know He was with Dawson and his family that week! Here are some pictures that were taken that week!

We love you Dawson and we are so glad that you are recovering so well from your surgery!

This is a jumper that I bought from a facebook yardsale, Braxton loves it! Jackson figured out how to make it lower, so he now sits in it without the box of dishes underneath it.
