Welp, this wasnât on the BINGO cardâŚ.
Most of you know we have a 15 year old son, Hayden. We donât post much on here about him out of respect for him and his desire to just be a teen, who is nearly 16. BUT we do have his FULL permission to share whatâs going on.
So, if you donât know him, this is Hayden. He is our calm, steady, witty and incredibly intentional 15-year-old. He's wise beyond his years and quietly disciplined in nearly everything he does. He is far better than me at both cooking and parking. He also has a wicked dry wit that will make you laugh at the most inopportune moments, heâs not always the best person to sit next to in a serious situation but if you need just about anything else, he is your guy!
So, now that you have met himâŚ
Weâd certainly appreciate your prayers. Last week during basketball camp, he had a pretty concerning episode. He pushed through but never fully recovered. After talking to him we began to realize similar symptoms had actually been happening for a while. Out of an abundance of caution, we took him to his P*P, where an EKG showed some concerning findings. He was immediately referred to Texas Children's Cardiology and told he had to stop all strenuous activities until we could get to the bottom of it.
We'll be in Houston Tuesday for further testing and to get established with his cardiologist.
If you know Hayden, you know how much he loves basketball. He's worked incredibly hard all summer, so having everything put on hold just a few hours into basketball camp has been hard. And we will be honest, itâs certainly unexpected and a little scary, at momentsâŚA LOT scary.
We don't have many answers yet. We are looking at more unknowns that knowns. Some of those unknowns are scary. Pray we can do the next step in front of us, trust the Lord, and let Him provide exactly what we need for each day.
If you would pray for wisdom, clear answers, peace for Hayden, and guidance for his medical team, we'd be so grateful. Maybe even pray we show up and they say ITS NOTHING GO HOME!!!! A momma can dream right?!?!
Thank you for your prayers.
This nearly 16 year old is hard to catch pics of in the wild! I had to dig way back to our last vacation.
We will trust. He will provide.
