Every time i see a video of Denver, my soul is flooded with compassion and love for that sweet little boy. He has, for some reason, touched my heart. What a special gift you have been given, Mama!
This made me so happy to hear that he has touched your heart ! Despite everything he has been going through he truly is one of the happiest people I have met. He is just happiest when his family is all near him . He makes me so happy ☺️ thank you so much for watching our family & learning about Denver 💖
Thank you!! This is only the second neonatal version our children’s hospital has seen so we are learning alongside them everyday! Thank you for watching and learning about Denver & our family 🤍🤍
The fact that you're up before your boys means you're already winning! My baby crying is my alarm clock... Both your sons are gorgeous and Denver's laughter is beautiful to hear.
I never did with Draven and then with Denver I use the time in the morning to watch a show I like and work out haha it’s been a win win but I didn’t even dare try till he was sleeping better through the night 🥲🤍 thank you so much for watching! Denver’s laugh comes from pure happiness, makes me so happy to hear 🥹🥹
Kids are beautiful gifts from God. The world has so much to learn from kids like Denver❤. Keep fighting baby boy, you’re doing great😘. God bless you beautiful family.
Denver chose the right family. ♥ You are such a strong mama with a giant heart! Sending good thoughts your way and hopes that there are zero challenges beyond what can be anticipated.
Oh my gosh his exited wiggle is the cutest thing ever! I admire your morning routine, getting in a workout before your boys wake up is awesome! Totally off topic but your hair is absolutely gorgeous 💜
My introverted morning self loves that, but some days I wake up and I just do nothing haha which also can fill my cup. Thank you so much, my hair grew so much while pregnant with the kids 🤍
Denver has the best laugh!! You are just amazing and a super MOM!! The boys are sooooo lucky to have terrific parents!! Thanks for sharing your amazing family!!
You are such wonderful, compassionate, parents. You have taught me so much about having patience and carrying on when things are difficult. Thanks so much for sharing your story of your wonderful family.
Thank you so much 🥹 this comment made me smile. I hope to continue to show you those traits with our path ahead, it’s not been easy but seeing Denver so so well this past month has been really good on all our hearts 🤍
So thrilled he has gained more weight! I can imagine how much better he must feel now. I know I am crabby and headache-y when I don't get enough food. Happy for you that all of you seem to be thriving. Glad you've got a surgery date, too.
My husband always knows when I’m hungry there isn’t much time before it quickly turns to a bit of an attitude 😆 I imagine it’s the same for my kids as well haha. Thank you very much 💕
So happy to hear you got a pump and it seems to be helping Denver. His wiggles made me laugh. Such a cutie. I believe that once he has his heart surgery his energy level will improve so much. I know it is nothing to look forward to because it is so scary but his quality of life will be so much better. Such a trooper he is.❤😊
Thank you 🥹 I agree I hope it goes well for him and is revolutionary! He’s gained 1.5 lb in 3 weeks with the pump, amazing right ?!?!? So so so happy!!
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul and when I seen the eyes on this sweet little guy I felt the strength he has in his…God Bless This Little Angel 😇
Love seeing your family time! Denver does really seem to enjoy your kitty. So lovely to see him wiggle with delight and laugh.😊 Big brother Draven is a handsome and sweet boy. Thanks for all the updates. You are doing a great job Bella! Continued prayers and good wishes are being sent your way from me. Take care lovely lady! :-)
Love seeing your comment every time! 🤍 you are always one of the first to watch and your support towards our family is so amazing 🥹 if your name is sage I love that name ! The little wiggle he does when he is happy and it makes me so happy to see 🥹🤍
Hello Bella, Your comments made me smile. ☺️ No Sage is not my name. My name is Janet. Sage is, or it was, the name that our sweet Shih Tzu pup came to us with. He passed away after giving us 13 years of incredible joy every single day. I always watch and comment Bella because I see the love and dedication you show as you and your husband raise your 2 sons. The difficult challenges Denver faces each day and the way your family attends to them is exemplary. Watching all of you navigate these issues is an inspiration. In addition, Draven gets to experience and witness so much that will have a positive impact to the foundation of his character. Sending much ❤️ to all of you.
@@jansuzanne Hi Janet :) pets really bring so much joy in our lives , I’m happy you had your sage , dogs are amazing 🤍 thank you so much for mentioning Draven. I have been watching him grow into a selfless little man with so much love for his family. He is always wanting to help mom and dad out and be a part of our team 🤍 it truly is showing us a character of himself that is kind, patience, protective & loving 🤍
Such sweet boys! Thank you for sharing. I know these days can be hard but you deal with it with such grace. I love how the boys were enjoying the tickles☺️
Love your videos of your beautiful family. Little Denver is such a joy, love his happy little wiggle. Draven is such a wonderful big brother. Thankyou for sharing your beautiful boys with us 🥰🥰

@@bakingnana9740 thank you so much 🤍 wish it was all ups, but I think with anything in life especially to do with your kids that there will be emotions and thoughts and actions that are down because so much of your heart is invested into it. I am glad I don’t come across as everything is peachy because I do struggle 🤍 some days are worse but it’s so nice to know so many kind and amazing people care and take time to check in with us ! So thank you for that! It really does make my day 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you for the super thanks! I clicked a button last week to activate it and I wasn’t sure what that was! This was incredibly kind of you. Denver has gained 1.5 lbs since the pump, he’s exclusively pump fed now and responding so well to it! We got a phone call this morning that we have a surgery date ( June 21 ) which is much sooner than we thought being only 12 days away, but with his weight gain I feel much better about him getting stronger for it 💖
Thank you for this video. Denver looks so happy, and I got a kick out of him wiggling on the floor with the cat❤️❤️❤️❤️ you are a wonderful mother, not to mention beautiful! The boys are so precious an cute❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 🥹🥹 he loves the cat so much ! That little wiggle he does when he is happy 🥹🤍 thank you so much for your compliment and watching and learning about Denver 🤍🤍
Your husband is a great dad!!! I can tell you are doing better spiritually and physically. Im so glad Denver has gained some weight. These are all great news! Denver loves the kitty, sooooo cute❤❤❤

He is super adorable and you are so blessed with a handsome lil angel I love both of your sons names he was blessed to have wonderful parents like you you know he chose you guys cuz he knew you two were very very special thank you for sharing this video of your family
What 2 beautiful & precious children ♡ he's such a loving & kind big brother & Denver is a strong hearted warrior. May God Bless your family & each of your journeys. I pray for God to make Denver strong! You guys are great parents♡
Good luck and hope Denver’s surgery will be sooner than later so the waiting game will be over he can work on recovery. Drayden was so cute with his peekaboo face. ❤️❤️
You’re doing a wonderful job being mommy to both boys. I’m sure it’s hard to balance. With having only one child, and he being special needs, is often overwhelming. Couldn’t love being his mom more though. ❤
A balance is a good way to describe it 🤍 their relationship together makes every “hard” thing worth it 🤍 thank you so much 🤍🤍 ( also I love your profile picture , making me crave fall time already 🥹)
Thanks for sharing your family with others who may need to know they are not alone. As a child care teacher I learn so much about child development through channels like yours so thanks for that as well.
Ohhh litter Denvers laugh makes my heart happy!!! 😊 I wish i was a morning person, im a night owl. I go to bed around 1-2am. I kinda do what u do, when everyone is asleep, i use the time to watch a show, catch up on vids, clean up a little etc.. Lots of love from my family to yours!!😊
That child is blessed to have a family like you guys, he wlmay face some challenges in life, but with you guys by his side, u can see him having a fantastic future ❤️
Happy weekend to you hope everyone is doing well awww seeing a happy denver always makes for a good day so cute to see you have breakfast one on one time witth draven
That was so cute when you were saying bye from the car 😊 And Denver's rock star hair was hilarious! lol I love flashfood, too, if only the store closest to me would actually use it; they barely put any effort.
Hahah his hair is always up unless I do something to it . Flashfood in the city is much better then my town, but lately they might be upping their game ! It’s nice to have option to get cheaper produce or meat but it’s pretty competitive haha
My best friend in Louisiana had a son named Jason. He has this condition. He was a tall boy size 14 shoe at 11. Red hair and his father was 7'10" and had a massive heart attack at 39 yrs old. The expect that will be the same for sweet J. Bless your journey.
Hey, I don't understand English perfectly, but I just wanted to say that I know how you are, I also have a sick child, it's very exhausting, difficult and sad, but still beautiful. We are strong moms and our children are great the way they are ❤😊
@@isabellajoyyof course you are a lot of strength healthy only now I'm watching I'm admiring he's doing great and developing thanks to your fight for his good I appreciate what I have 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
Малыш похож на маму. Как хорошо, что родители не относятся к нему как к инвалиду, а играют и ласкают. Он счастлив, счастливее многих обычных детей. Любовь важнее всего на свете. Он в самом лучшем месте на свете, там где его любят
(edited to add at the end) great video! you all are looking so cute! and wow is Denver a happy little guy! does he like certain types of music? i keep thinking of his piano fingers and wondering if he would like classical... even something classic (no pun intended lol) like Tchaikovsky's nutcracker or Vivaldi's four seasons. both have calmer parts and lighter parts. i know studies have shown that plants prefer an environment with classical music to no music, now im babbling. also it's obvious how much your confidence has grown in from of the camera. i like the longer format and think you did a great editing job! looking forward to hearing more from you soon. i hope you're remembering to pamper yourself once in a while 🧘🏻♀️💆🏻♀️💅🏻 you are doing such a great job with everything going on. you can tell that your boys are not just surviving, but thriving emtionally through some difficult times! 💖🌸🌟🌸💖 🌷🌜🩷🌛🌷 💓🌸⭐🌸💓 🌷🌜🩷🌛🌷 💖🌸🌟🌸💖
I’m a huge nutcracker fan and I listen to the music as well as swan lake on our Alexa ! 🤍 If we ever have a girl her name would be Clara 🤍 all his favourite toys are actually pianos 🥹 his favourite song is the happy song by Imogen heap, he always calms down during appointments if it’s on ! Thank you! I feel more confident lately In front of it ! 🥰 I still laugh at some things I say but I’m lucky I can edit the awkward parts out 😅
@@isabellajoyy awesome! when I was a kid, I saw the musical Cats and was obsessed when I was about 7. it's so cute how much he LOVES your kitty. not long ago they released a pretty decent Cats musical/movie - maybe when the boys are a little older they would like it? there's also the original Old Possum's book of practical Cats by T.S. Eliot which is a book of light poetry written in 1939 - essentially all the songs from the musical in poetry form. I never got into any other musicals tho. my mom was a ballet dancer with the NYCB (she was born in New York and moved to Canada when she was 20ish) until her late teens. so as a kid we would always go see the Nutcracker around Christmas. you seem like a very interesting person, and I think your channel could be an excellent educational and advocacy tool, as well as source of support and comfort for other families (young and old) who love someone with infantile Marfan syndrome. have faith in yourself and trust your gut. you are already leading by example, and I'm sure you have many invaluable ideas to share! 🌞💙🌻💙🌞 🩵⭐🍀⭐🩵 🌻💙🐱💙🌻 🩵⭐🍀⭐🩵 🌞💙🌻💙🌞
@@jadebrainiac3135 thank you so much! Wow how amazing of your mom ! I’ve never seen the ballet before, maybe I’ll take the kids this winter ! Thank you 🤍🤍🤍 I know in the city close to us they do musicals, I should put that on our family bucket list ❤️
I never heard it before he was born either ! Still learning every day ! It’s been hard on us all but he’s been so happy lately it’s been medicine for our soul 🤍
Im new to your channels and am praying for Denver I know first hand how hard it is I was born with Teratology of Fallot and have had 3 open heart surgeries and 15+ caths procedures but im not sure of what Denvers condition is since this is the first video I've seen but I also have Pulmonary valve dilation its know as PVS (Pulmonary Valve Stenosis and I was born with mine to the point that after a few months I was born my valved stopped working and had to be replaced and I just got it ballooned this last summer after having my stent for 12 years Praying for Denver and for your family stay strong and that God will give y'all a surgery Date and for peace in these hard times!
oh, I know 3 heart surgeries would have been so hard, you are so incredibly strong 🤍 Denver has neonatal marfan syndrome & also has dilated pulmonary valve and they just sutured it smaller it sounds like? it was secondary to his aortic root dilation so I really don't know as much about it especially since it came on quick within the last few months! do you need oxygen? 🤍 Thank you for your kindness & this comment, I loved hearing your story! 💪
@@isabellajoyy yea I’m never heard that condition for I’ll look more into it I’m glad they were able to suture Denver’s so successfully and praying for a full recovery for him from surgery it’s not always easy but I know after my surgeries even though you may hurt a little I always felt better from the work they did and yes I did have oxygen for about the first few years of my life maybe got it off when I was around 4 had the exact same little tin oxygen tank Denver has and also had a G tube but luckily was able to get my G tube take out at 5 as well love that y’all are sharing your story and Denver’s story love seeing other patients journey like mine was one thing that has now inspired me to go into Echo to help other kids like me and Denver
I remember hospital days when i was kid. They were exhausting. Even now if I can't separate appointments ok different days, it's long days for me as an adult. I have heart issues and Noonan Syndrome. Also i understand the frustration of being rare.
We go to children’s hospital there ! We live about an hour away from Calgary ! We luckily have had amazing care with Denver, our cardiologist is amazing !
Each day is a gift. If you didn't have this day to hold your son, you would spend each second of long hours wishing for just one more day. Each new day is filled with the love you share. It will be these memories to sustain you through the days without him. You are not in charge of the number of his days. Remember to enjoy the present. It is all that you have. Let tomorrow bring the sorrow of tomorrow on another day. Infuse his life with love here and in the now. Give him and his older brother days filled with laughter and the safety in your arms. You are his world! Love him now, Mama, and grieve him when he no longer needs your strength. I promise that the grief will never leave you. Everything in your life will be marked by his calendar. Before my baby and after. Don't rush the anguish it will wait.
This is something I’ve had to work on.. my therapist has been helping me not mourn early, and this last few months I’ve really focused on making memories and getting out and doing things 🤍 thank you so much for your kindness towards Denver, myself and my family 🤍🤍
My baby girl was healthy and doing all the normal things. I woke up to a baby without life, and now I would give anything for just one more day. If you ever need to vent, talk, or even laugh, feel free to message me. I stopped talking to people after I lost my Alana. I felt like no one understood. God bless you and both of your beautiful boys.
@@krystalbenfield8123 I have distanced myself from friends also, it wasn’t my intention but so much of my life has shifted and I’m not the same person. I’m sorry you lost your daughter, I know the pain would be immense. I’m here for you also 🤍 thank you so much
uhm Dad ..look at your sons eyes at 5:16 what you think he is thinking? ..The words parents say will shape the mind of their children..just pointing it out. Hope all the best for your family.
Got the biggest brightest stars ever ⭐️ dad just jokes, we love our boys unconditionally and try to always keep it light hearted & fun in our house 🤍 first appointment today since surgery so hoping all goes well
Symptoms certainly overlap , but genetically they are on a different gene. Denver did get tested for this but only came back for Marfan syndrome and specifically In the neonatal region which is more aggressive and for a lot of kids the prognosis is poor. Do you have / know someone with either of those conditions ? Before Denver I had never heard of either Marfan or Ehlers Danlos syndrome 🤍
@@isabellajoyy I am a 66 yr old mother of 3 ( all of whom had difficult issues). I have been told I have "Marfanoid" features, as well as those of Ehlers Danlos. A dermatologist said my daughters had some signs of a connective tissue disorder; and my son ( who has/had Tourette and other) has features of Marfan... or something. Joints hyperextension. The cardiologist who checked him out before puberty, saw photos of him and his strange joints and Thin body, and she told me he should be checked again. He's kind of tall. All of us have high narrow palettes. And some other. I was 6 ft 1.5" by around age 14. CMT also in my family. But not too severe. Oddly, my mother has the velvety skin, and could touch her nose with her tongue. She is NOT tall and neither is her brother (or his wife) in fact they are a bit short, but 3 of HIS 4 KIDS turned out pretty tall. Not all people with Marfan are tall. We have not had genetic testing. I wish you the best. It is so hard having children with special needs.
Thank you!! Since 2018 I have used L’Oréal extraordinary clay shampoo & conditioner, for leave in product I use whatever I get in gifts for Christmas but right now I’m using oribe leave in spray , but my favourite leave in I have used is r + co waterfall 🤍 thank you so much 🤍🤍

That child is blessed to have a family like you guys, he wlmay face some challenges in life, but with you guys by his side, u can see him having a fantastic future ❤️
Thank you so much for your kindness 🥹🤍 Can't wait to see what the future holds for Smiley Denver!
God bless Denver and his loving, devoted family! 😻❤️😻
Happy weekend to you hope everyone is doing well awww seeing a happy denver always makes for a good day so cute to see you have breakfast one on one time witth draven
So awesome to see Denver happy 🥹 thank you so much ! Draven loves food and Is happiest when I’m cooking or eating food with him haha
That was so cute when you were saying bye from the car 😊 And Denver's rock star hair was hilarious! lol I love flashfood, too, if only the store closest to me would actually use it; they barely put any effort.
Hahah his hair is always up unless I do something to it . Flashfood in the city is much better then my town, but lately they might be upping their game ! It’s nice to have option to get cheaper produce or meat but it’s pretty competitive haha
I had an aortic valve replacement 9 years ago at 19. Good luck to that sweet baby when surgery does come 💓
He just had the David procedure 2 weeks ago! He’s home and doing lovely now 🤍 how is everything holding up for you? 🤍

I have to say you make it look so easy. Lol. Probably because your boys are soooo good.
The boys are usually so happy and “chill” ! a lot like my husband haha 😅🥳
My best friend in Louisiana had a son named Jason. He has this condition.
He was a tall boy size 14 shoe at 11.
Red hair and his father was 7'10" and had a massive heart attack at 39 yrs old.
The expect that will be the same for sweet J.
Bless your journey.
Denver will also be very tall the project! Denver just had surgery most don't get until much older, Hoping this helps Denver 🤍
Amazing video

Hey, I don't understand English perfectly, but I just wanted to say that I know how you are, I also have a sick child, it's very exhausting, difficult and sad, but still beautiful. We are strong moms and our children are great the way they are ❤😊
Thank you!! i hope you and your child are doing well 💖
in the hospital he was scared nervous and at home I admire you are wonderful ❤
I hope to always be his safe place 🥹🥹🤍 Thank you!!

Yay! You’re raising cat loving boys and that’s outstanding. ❤❤❤
We love cats in this household ! 🤍🤍🤍
@@isabellajoyy Just wanted to let you know you’re in my thoughts. I hope you’re all doing well.
@@Personally11 that means so much, thank you! We had a heart check up yesterday which I recorded 🤍🤍 I’ll try to work on it today with the kiddos 🤗🤍
Малыш похож на маму. Как хорошо, что родители не относятся к нему как к инвалиду, а играют и ласкают. Он счастлив, счастливее многих обычных детей. Любовь важнее всего на свете. Он в самом лучшем месте на свете, там где его любят
Thank you so much for the kindness, he is so loved & I just want him to have the best life I can give him 🤍🤍🤍
(edited to add at the end)
great video! you all are looking so cute! and wow is Denver a happy little guy! does he like certain types of music? i keep thinking of his piano fingers and wondering if he would like classical... even something classic (no pun intended lol) like Tchaikovsky's nutcracker or Vivaldi's four seasons. both have calmer parts and lighter parts. i know studies have shown that plants prefer an environment with classical music to no music, now im babbling. also it's obvious how much your confidence has grown in from of the camera. i like the longer format and think you did a great editing job!
looking forward to hearing more from you soon. i hope you're remembering to pamper yourself once in a while
🧘🏻♀️💆🏻♀️💅🏻
you are doing such a great job with everything going on. you can tell that your boys are not just surviving, but thriving emtionally through some difficult times!

I’m a huge nutcracker fan and I listen to the music as well as swan lake on our Alexa ! 🤍 If we ever have a girl her name would be Clara 🤍 all his favourite toys are actually pianos 🥹 his favourite song is the happy song by Imogen heap, he always calms down during appointments if it’s on ! Thank you! I feel more confident lately In front of it ! 🥰 I still laugh at some things I say but I’m lucky I can edit the awkward parts out 😅
@@isabellajoyy awesome! when I was a kid, I saw the musical Cats and was obsessed when I was about 7. it's so cute how much he LOVES your kitty. not long ago they released a pretty decent Cats musical/movie - maybe when the boys are a little older they would like it? there's also the original Old Possum's book of practical Cats by T.S. Eliot which is a book of light poetry written in 1939 - essentially all the songs from the musical in poetry form. I never got into any other musicals tho.
my mom was a ballet dancer with the NYCB (she was born in New York and moved to Canada when she was 20ish) until her late teens. so as a kid we would always go see the Nutcracker around Christmas.
you seem like a very interesting person, and I think your channel could be an excellent educational and advocacy tool, as well as source of support and comfort for other families (young and old) who love someone with infantile Marfan syndrome.
have faith in yourself and trust your gut. you are already leading by example, and I'm sure you have many invaluable ideas to share!

@@jadebrainiac3135 thank you so much! Wow how amazing of your mom ! I’ve never seen the ballet before, maybe I’ll take the kids this winter ! Thank you 🤍🤍🤍 I know in the city close to us they do musicals, I should put that on our family bucket list ❤️
Beautiful Family ❤❤❤
Thank you 🥹💖
I have never heard of this before but it breaks my heart to look at this little fella.
I never heard it before he was born either ! Still learning every day ! It’s been hard on us all but he’s been so happy lately it’s been medicine for our soul 🤍
You are a rare person. Bless you
🤍🤍🤍
Im new to your channels and am praying for Denver I know first hand how hard it is I was born with Teratology of Fallot and have had 3 open heart surgeries and 15+ caths procedures but im not sure of what Denvers condition is since this is the first video I've seen but I also have Pulmonary valve dilation its know as PVS (Pulmonary Valve Stenosis and I was born with mine to the point that after a few months I was born my valved stopped working and had to be replaced and I just got it ballooned this last summer after having my stent for 12 years Praying for Denver and for your family stay strong and that God will give y'all a surgery Date and for peace in these hard times!
oh, I know 3 heart surgeries would have been so hard, you are so incredibly strong 🤍 Denver has neonatal marfan syndrome & also has dilated pulmonary valve and they just sutured it smaller it sounds like? it was secondary to his aortic root dilation so I really don't know as much about it especially since it came on quick within the last few months! do you need oxygen? 🤍 Thank you for your kindness & this comment, I loved hearing your story! 💪
@@isabellajoyy yea I’m never heard that condition for I’ll look more into it I’m glad they were able to suture Denver’s so successfully and praying for a full recovery for him from surgery it’s not always easy but I know after my surgeries even though you may hurt a little I always felt better from the work they did and yes I did have oxygen for about the first few years of my life maybe got it off when I was around 4 had the exact same little tin oxygen tank Denver has and also had a G tube but luckily was able to get my G tube take out at 5 as well love that y’all are sharing your story and Denver’s story love seeing other patients journey like mine was one thing that has now inspired me to go into Echo to help other kids like me and Denver
@@kaitlyn_4832 I love this so much , loved hearing how you now do this for your work to help others. Thank you so much 🤍
I remember hospital days when i was kid. They were exhausting. Even now if I can't separate appointments ok different days, it's long days for me as an adult. I have heart issues and Noonan Syndrome. Also i understand the frustration of being rare.
Oh it’s very emotionally draining as well as well as 🤎 the rareness does add so many layers to it all as well as I’m sure you know 🤎🤎
He is so beautiful and precious, has anyone seen my heart!!!❤❤❤❤
The laughs just get me every time 🥹🥹🥹
@@isabellajoyy 💖💖💖
Denver’s case is quite unique
Thanks for sharing ❤
Yes we definitely are learning alongside our drs ! It’s the second case our children’s hospital has ever seen 🤍
He's so precious and sweet 🥰
Thank you!! 🌼🤍
Best of luck!❤
Thank you 🥰
Aww your babies are so adorable and so precious❤❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🥺🤍
@@isabellajoyy your very welcome
Great family
Thank you 🤍🤍
God bless you
Thank you 🤍🤍
Just realized you live in Alberta, I live in Calgary! Hope you are getting good care, I know there has been a strain on our health care system lately.
We go to children’s hospital there ! We live about an hour away from Calgary ! We luckily have had amazing care with Denver, our cardiologist is amazing !
So glad the pump is helping😊
He’s now gained 1.5 lbs in total since the pump! 🤍 it’s been amazing for him!
@@isabellajoyyhe must be feeling so much better just because of the pump up by itself!
i wish u and ur family well! u seem so sweet
Thank you so much 🥰
He is so precious 😊
Thank you 🥹🤍
You are great mom with your kids.
Thank you very much 🤍🥹
I will pray for you and your kids and husband all in my prayers.
@@mariaodeteavila721 Thank you 🤍🤍
So adorable
Omg he is the cutest boy ever! I'd snuggle him all day😊
He is so snuggly when he wants to be haha he would love that !! 🤍🤍🤍
Each day is a gift. If you didn't have this day to hold your son, you would spend each second of long hours wishing for just one more day. Each new day is filled with the love you share. It will be these memories to sustain you through the days without him. You are not in charge of the number of his days. Remember to enjoy the present. It is all that you have. Let tomorrow bring the sorrow of tomorrow on another day. Infuse his life with love here and in the now. Give him and his older brother days filled with laughter and the safety in your arms. You are his world! Love him now, Mama, and grieve him when he no longer needs your strength. I promise that the grief will never leave you. Everything in your life will be marked by his calendar. Before my baby and after. Don't rush the anguish it will wait.
This is something I’ve had to work on.. my therapist has been helping me not mourn early, and this last few months I’ve really focused on making memories and getting out and doing things 🤍 thank you so much for your kindness towards Denver, myself and my family 🤍🤍
My baby girl was healthy and doing all the normal things. I woke up to a baby without life, and now I would give anything for just one more day. If you ever need to vent, talk, or even laugh, feel free to message me. I stopped talking to people after I lost my Alana. I felt like no one understood. God bless you and both of your beautiful boys.
@@krystalbenfield8123 I have distanced myself from friends also, it wasn’t my intention but so much of my life has shifted and I’m not the same person. I’m sorry you lost your daughter, I know the pain would be immense. I’m here for you also 🤍 thank you so much
Bella I just wanted to say Hello to you and your family
Hello!!
uhm Dad ..look at your sons eyes at 5:16 what you think he is thinking? ..The words parents say will shape the mind of their children..just pointing it out. Hope all the best for your family.
Got the biggest brightest stars ever ⭐️ dad just jokes, we love our boys unconditionally and try to always keep it light hearted & fun in our house 🤍 first appointment today since surgery so hoping all goes well
My son has a appointment on Thursday going to cardiologist
I hope that appointment went well 🤍
God Bless your little man
Thank you very much 🤍🌼
Where did you get the bunny in your baby's window. He is a happy baby.
It was a baby gift from our neighbour :) I just checked the tag and there isn’t a label 🤍 he is very happy 😊
I wonder, do Marfan and Ehlers Danlos (spelling) often occur together.
Symptoms certainly overlap , but genetically they are on a different gene. Denver did get tested for this but only came back for Marfan syndrome and specifically In the neonatal region which is more aggressive and for a lot of kids the prognosis is poor.
Do you have / know someone with either of those conditions ? Before Denver I had never heard of either Marfan or Ehlers Danlos syndrome 🤍
@@isabellajoyy I am a 66 yr old mother of 3 ( all of whom had difficult issues). I have been told I have "Marfanoid" features, as well as those of Ehlers Danlos. A dermatologist said my daughters had some signs of a connective tissue disorder; and my son ( who has/had Tourette and other) has features of Marfan... or something. Joints hyperextension. The cardiologist who checked him out before puberty, saw photos of him and his strange joints and Thin body, and she told me he should be checked again. He's kind of tall. All of us have high narrow palettes. And some other. I was 6 ft 1.5" by around age 14. CMT also in my family. But not too severe. Oddly, my mother has the velvety skin, and could touch her nose with her tongue. She is NOT tall and neither is her brother (or his wife) in fact they are a bit short, but 3 of HIS 4 KIDS turned out pretty tall. Not all people with Marfan are tall. We have not had genetic testing.
I wish you the best. It is so hard having children with special needs.
Denver looks just like you. he is a cutie!
I agree! I think we look alike 🤍
What kind of products do you put in your hair? Your hair is gorgeous ❤️
Thank you!! Since 2018 I have used L’Oréal extraordinary clay shampoo & conditioner, for leave in product I use whatever I get in gifts for Christmas but right now I’m using oribe leave in spray , but my favourite leave in I have used is r + co waterfall 🤍 thank you so much 🤍🤍
