What a beautiful montage! I'm so proud of her and all that she has overcome. I just love watching them develope and grow after surgery. She will be up and going in no time. Look at her...already pulling up to stand! What a miracle child!
Vaeh's video made me cry....what an amazing journey! Thank God that she's doing so well! Her smile is so precious....I'm always amazed that these little ones still want to smile after all they've been through!
I'm so happy that you are all finally home together again! I hope you're all getting some good snuggle-time and lots of rest.
Give Nevaeh a great big heart hug from us! She is an amazing little girl!
Nevaeh Kaylene Walp was born on September 17, 2006. She was three weeks early, and eager to join our family! The day after joining us, she was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia, VSD, MAPCA's (collateral arteries), right aortic arch, as well as PFO (Patent Foramen Ovale or ASD (Atrial Septal Defect)). We would soon come to learn that her journey would be filled with hospitals, tests, and many surgeries. She has now had three open heart procedures including her "full repair", as well as six heart catheterizations, and her PEG/ G-tube placement. She is now considered "repaired", & just recently we were able to have her feeding tube removed! We still face daily medications, & heart caths, as well as possible open hearts to keep up with her growth, although hopefully not for 3 - 10 years. Our next big hurdle is dealing with the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension.
Despite all of her exentricities, she is an enormous source of joy in our family! She is an inspiration to us. We feel blessed to have her with us each and every day she is here! Thank you for stopping by to meet her and continue with us on this journey!

Congenital heart defect - This is really one of several code phrases for an intensive training course in learning the true meaning of Jesus, I trust in you. This training involves great spiritual growth and opportunity for deepening and greatly magnifying one's prayer life. There may even be a special retreat involved where one can really progress in prayer. The special code term 'open-heart surgery' is often used for this unique retreat that takes place in a hospital.
I am lucky enough to be married to the most wonderful man in the world, and to be the mother to the two most precious little girls God ever created! And now on a journey through the world of congenital heart defects with our youngest daughter.
Just think, your daughter is here not by chance, but by God's choosing His hand formed her and made her the person she is. He compares her to no one else- she is one of a kind. She will lack nothing that His grace can't give her. He has allowed her to be here at this time in history to fulfill His special purpose for this generation. Roy Lessin
~THE CHOSEN ONE~ I had a dream the other night It came to me so clear. I stood before the throne of God, Afraid to come too near. God said to me, I hear your prayers, There you can't find. I asked you here to talk to me And help to ease your mind I said well yes God, I am upset About my special one That punishment is awfully harsh. Whatever have I done? God looked at me and shook his head And said you've got it wrong. I sent this special child to you Because you are so strong I searched and searched to try and find Someone with love so rare A parent so unselfish they could Give that special care. I try and save my special gifts Like those you're speaking of For special kinds of parents I call the "Chosen Ones"of all the ones to choose from I think this I have done A parent who deserves my best, An honor you have won! -UNKNOWN
