TYSON MATTHEW KOTTELENBERG

This blog is about our 14 year old son Tyson. Tyson was born with serious complex congenital heart defects, (Hypoplastic Right Ventricle, Tricuspid Atresia, Coarctation of Aorta, Transposed Great Arteries, with VSD and ASD.) In short, the right side of his heart is completely under-developed (he has half a heart,) his main arteries are mixed up, and his aorta is narrow. He has undergone 3 open-heart surgeries and 5 heart catheterization procedures to try to 'repair' his heart. Tyson also has severe narrowing in his pulmonary veins which are causing higher venous pressures. He's still doing AMAZINGLY well all things considered. We entrust our dear son into the hands of God, knowing that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him!

Niagara Falls & Darien Lake

Just a few pics of our weekend getaway to Niagara Falls and Darien Lake during the last week of August.
First we did the Cardiac Kids video shoot in Mississauga (pics of that and a link to the website to follow shortly...) 

Merrick took this picture with his camera


We enjoyed dinner at the Rainforest Cafe in Niagara Falls

Time for some craziness at the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum
Trying to see if we can split our tongue like his

Rides at Darien Lake


Ride of Steel (Braden and Merrick went on that one.)


Some bumper car fun
Addi remained very content in her stroller for a good part of the weekend
