...Bodie was born with a Congenital Heart Defect, tetralogy of Fallot. The initial repair was not successful, and he had to have a stent put through his pulmonary valve for a blockage. He then spent 160 days in the hos...pital initially, had five cardiac arrests, was on ECMO life support, dialysis, had 16 surgeries, was trached and vented, got a g-tube and Nissen wrap, and had the majority of his right foot amputated. Christmas a year ago he suffered an anoxic brain injury from oxygen deprivation during CPR. After the brain injury, he a number of brain surgeries and procedures. He really *should* not have survived many of those things, but he's here, he has an incredible will to live, survive and thrive and he's rockin it, man!!! His life is all about therapy now and making as much recovery as possible from his brain injury.

He has since had the subdural shunt removed, been decannulated from the tracheostomy, requires no oxygen, and no longer has the g-tube. His vision seems to be improving and just very recently his gross motor skills seem to be improving. He's learning to crawl, holding his head up very well, is doing very well at standing with assistance, and is trying so hard to sit up. He's also become quite verbal and is starting to follow commands like, "Bodie, lift your head up!" :) Apparently no one told Bodie he has a brain injury, or that he couldn't do it!!!.........
