Heart of a Lion: Photo journey...

These are just a few of the pictures from the last 5 weeks. A lot of forward steps with some backward steps... but we'll get there.

Todd's Story

Todd is a lively, happy, energetic 7 year old boy who likes to play baseball, kickball, and tennis. He loves the Red Sox. He loves to play. He loves life. On March 18, 2014 he went into sudden cardiac arrest. We were in the Pediatric ICU at Shands @ UF Health for 72 days and have since transferred to Brooks Rehab in Jacksonville where we were discharged home on June 16th. He has since been diagnosed with Hypertrophic Restrictive Cardiomyopathy. During the arrest his brain did not receive enough oxygen and was therefor damaged. We are still unable to fully assess the extent of the damage, but it is severe and he will require a significant amount of rehab. We have already undergone surgery to have an automatic internal cardiac defibrillator (AICD) placed and hs had a feeding tube surgically placed. He has been a fighter through all of this and has his good days and bad, but he's coming back to us. Slowly, but surely.
