TYSON MATTHEW KOTTELENBERG

This blog is about our 17 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 so he has a single ventricle heart (half a heart) and he has undergone 3 open-heart surgeries and 6 cardiac catheterization procedures to try to 'repair' his heart. Tyson also has severe narrowing in his left pulmonary artery and pulmonary veins which is causing higher venous pressures. He's still doing very well all things considered. We entrust our son into the hands of God, knowing that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY TY!


On Saturday, November 21, 2009, Tyson celebrated his first birthday with family and friends. We hosted a come-and-go birthday party in the basement of the church. Here are some highlights.

Oh, and by the way, Tyson is crawling! Yay! He started on Wednesday just before his birthday, and he is now off to the races! You should have seen how fast he could crawl when he was going for the hockey sticks! I have finally admitted that the love for hockey is not a learned thing, but it really is born in them. I think it comes with the last name "Kottelenberg." *sigh* I guess there's just nothing I can do about it. I might as well just give up. LOL




















DIG IN!
Tyson sure got spoiled!
