How about a picture of a sweet child whose Wednesday’s surgery went well!

You sent your prayers yesterday to our buddy Blake Garrett, the grandson of Mama Sue’s Southern Kitchen and those prayers were answered!

Blake- the son of Chris and Amy Garrett of Louisiana- had surgery yesterday morning!

Blake Garrett has Mosaic Trisomy 22.
It’s a chromosomal abnormality.
Common findings include developmental delays, intellectual disability, congenital heart defects (ASD/VSD), ear malformations, hearing loss, webbing of the neck, and skin pigmentary changes.

Yesterday’s surgery saw Blake receive a shunt to relieve intercranial pressure.
That surgery went well!

I know millions of people love Sue Garrett and her husband Harold and frequently follow the story of The Amazing Blake.

Let’s leave a comment for the Garrett family and tell the family we’re relieved and happy the surgery went well!

It was an amazing thing.
Just yesterday I wrote about 9-year-old Tyleigh Skye Hill.
Tyleigh Skye is from Geneva, AL and she’s fighting bone cancer.

Tyleigh Skye is on week 6 of a 33-week chemo treatment.
In just a few weeks doctors at Children’s of Alabama will decide if they will rebuild Tyleigh Skye’s left leg or amputated it.

Now, back to the amazing thing:
You sent prayers the family’s way starting early Sunday morning.
On Sunday afternoon, Tyleigh Skye surprised her parents and her doctors and nurses:
She stood up and walked.

Tyleigh Skye’s mom Brittney sent me this text last night:

“Tyleigh Skye has been in a wheelchair and hasn’t been able to walk in over 2 months.

“Thank God for his Healing hands. Tyleigh Skye is walking with a walker- but y’all- my baby girl is walking, and we have more hope in our hearts than ever!!

“We ask that everyone please continue your prayers and support!”

No doubt Tyleigh Skye faces a tough fight, but yesterday the 9-year-old gave us hope.

Let’s send our best to Tyleigh Skye and her parents Brittney and Jasmine.

Let’s tell them we hope Tyleigh Skye continues to make progress.

I wrote about her almost 8 months ago.
Rainbow City, AL’s Elizabeth Chandler was a wonderful wife, mom and grandma.
She was only 51 years old less than a year ago when she received the diagnosis:
Stage 4 lung cancer.
It had spread to her brain.

Elizabeth’s daughter Savannah McClellan sent me sad news last night: Her mother passed away 3 days ago.

Savannah asked me to share her thoughts:

“On Friday, August 21st at 12:41 pm, my precious momma was welcomed home into the arms of Jesus.

“She was resilient, determined, nurturing, loving, feisty, beautiful.. & overall an incredible Mom and Nan Nan- nothing meant more to her than all of her grandbabies.

“She was our whole world.

“She was a dedicated mom, wife, Nan Nan, sister, Aunt.. etc.
And no one loved harder than she did.

“My mom was our world and figuring out how to live each day without her guidance here on Earth, will be a challenge.”

Elizabeth Chandler left us much too soon- and while there’s nothing good about losing a loved one, it’s the good in Elizabeth that I’m honored to share.

I hope we can send our condolences to Elizabeth’s husband Christopher, her daughters Savannah and McKenzie, her grandchildren and her extended family.

We thank Elizabeth for a life well lived.

We pray that memories of Elizabeth will be a blessing.

I did it. I survived chemotherapy and rang the bell—one of the most powerful moments of my life. Thank you, God, for giving me strength. To my family, friends, and the amazing team at Yale New Haven Hospital—your love and care kept me going when I felt I couldn’t. My journey to full recovery

She looks so happy and healthy.
Berkley Smith is 4 months old and seemingly happy, but the odds are against her.

The sweet baby from Lanett, AL has turned heads with her fight and resolve.
Don’t pay attention to the odds.
Don’t count Berkley out.

“Berkley was born with Turner Syndrome,” mom Kaley Smith told me.
It’s a genetic condition that results in growth and development issues as well as damage to internal organs.
Berkley also has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.
She’s facing a long road.

Doctors at Children’s of Alabama met with Bradley and Kaley Smith 2 days ago.
They discussed the complex viscious circle Berkley finds herself in.
They told the Smith’s that Berkley is no longer a candidate for open heart surgery to repair the HLHS.

There’s likely only one thing that will save Berkeley, and it’s big.
Berkley needs a heart transplant.
But Berkley is not strong enough to ensure such a surgery.

Berkley has problems with her pulmonary artery and her lungs.
Doctors are working on ways to heal Berkeley’s other ailments before they think of a heart transplant.

So, how can Berkeley’s heart function without surgery?
“Doctors say they will consider using a mechanical heart outside Berkley’s body to keep her alive,” Kaley told me.
“It might take over a year before Berkley can have a transplant.”

Berkley has been home a few times since being born 4 months ago, but each time she has been rushed back to the hospital for treatment.

Like their daughter, Bradley and Kaley are taking their lives day to day.
They are anxious and exhausted- they have 3 other young children at home.

I could hear Kaley’s worry in her voice.

I hope you can let these nice folks you have their backs.

👏👏👏

She will be 6 weeks old before long.
Pretty amazing considering at birth she was given 2 hours to live.

Wetumpka, AL’s Iris Rico was born with Trisomy 18.
It’s a serious condition caused by an extra copy of chromosome 18.
It leads to heart defects and developmental relays.
Life expectency is 3 days to 2 weeks.
Only 10 percent of babies with Trisomy 18 survive one year.

Doctors told to Tony and Brianna to take Iris home, for she only had minutes to live.
That was almost 6 weeks ago.
“We’re praying every hour of every day that Iris survives,” mom Brianna told me.

This morning, the Rico’s are in Birmingham for a third time, and understandably they want answers.
Iris is alive, and Tony and Brianna Rico want answers that will help Iris make a comeback for the ages.

“Iris has done her part of the fighting- now it’s time for her parents and advocates to do their fighting for her,” Tony told me.

Iris hasn’t been tolerating feeding the past few days, so doctors are treating her for infections.
Tony and Brianna are meeting with a cardiologist and a pulmonologist about her heart and her lungs.

The Rico’s are taking their lives one day at a time- they are praying that somehow Iris pulls through.

“We’re praying that God turns this into one of the most remarkable success stories ever,” Tony said.

I had a lump in my throat as I said goodbye.

*Please send your comments to Tony, Brianna and their children Mayson and Iris.
