Thank you to our community who came out to our Play Hard Nights. Because of you, we donated $850 to the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, specifically the Heart Clinic.
The place that has cared for our son Liam through many procedures and open-heart surgeries. The funds go toward research for a procedure Liam is scheduled and hopefully can have one day. This cause means everything to our family, and you showed up for it.
Also a BIG Thank You to @trainingdaycafe for donating the delicious food that our community got to enjoy 😋 .

Thank you. From the Bottom of our Hearts❤️ taken in BC Childrens Hospital by @warriorliam

All was unchanged, they said. But it still haunts me.
He’s blue and his fingers and toes are more clubbed than they were.
He’s unchanged, but he still doesn’t qualify for a surgery that he needs….
This little boy is unchanged but things are happening in his body that require more help.
My little boy….. wants me to do a heart with him every night before he falls asleep, and it fills me with so much love and then I see the picture and I’m reminded of how blue he is.
Such a simple picture… brings so many feelings by @warriorliam

Liam was at Children’s today for his Echo.
Things look the same, which is good. And his CT that he had done in February, which is awaiting the cardiac docs from Sick Kids to review, also looks same.
Liam’s sats still sit at 80% and his low sats are starting to make his fingers and toes club a bit more than they already are. We will be observing any more changes there.
Things look unchanged which I’ll tell you, took a whole lot of heaviness off my heart…
We also took Roman with Liam today to all his tests… We think it’s time that baby brother sees what big brother goes through…
We will also be meeting with a new doctor on his next appointment… Apparently she works with the heart transplant team and might have a little more insight on what would work best for Liam long-term…. We shall see how that goes.
All in all it was a good day but man do these appointments ruin me and take awhile to recover from💙

Today I got asked by an athlete….”Will it be hard?” I responded with, “NOT doing it will be hard, one day”
Liam got told a few years ago by a nurse, that we can do hard things. And that stuck with me… It stuck with our family.
If we don’t do hard things now, we’re going to have to do really hard things later. The problem is, we get so stuck in our comfort zone that we forget that real change happens outside of it.
It’s nice to do things that we’re able to do, it’s nice to do things that we’re good at… But the real change happens when we do things we can’t do, when we do things that we’re bad at. When we do things that we fail at.
We push Liam to do things that he is bad at, things that leave him breathless… Things that he says are hard. Because we know that it’s good for him. If he can build his leg muscles so that they can supply enough blood and oxygen to his heart and lungs… It’ll make him stronger.
So that’s what he will do.

We got told while back that the medical system can’t help Liam anymore, so Tony and I decided that it was up to us. Nobody else was going to save Liam, and honestly nobody else really gave a shit. If anything ever happened to him, everybody would go home to their family and eat dinner at their dinner table that night like nothing happened. But not us… Our story would not be that simple.
So we changed, we took charge of our gym to make our kids strong, to survive. Liam has to do deadlifts and he has to do squats and he has to do hard things that he hates. And it’s going to make him stronger. Because that’s what we CAN do right now. That’s what we will do.
And if we make him defy all the odds, then I pray we will make him a miracle that wasn’t expected. ❤️‍🩹 taken in Campus CrossFit by @warriorliam

It’s the little things. Probably the ones people don’t think about. Catching tadpoles, campfire, snakes, playing soccer in the field, seeing familiar faces with familiar scars, breakfast with your parents and siblings, canoes…. The list goes on.
Liam doesn’t ever ask for much…. But to have the opportunity to take him and these ❤️‍🩹 babies on fun trips among all the hard stuff, is such a blessing.
With such busy lives, it’s nice to press pause sometimes and take it all in.
We’re so thankful to the @childrensheartnetwork and @campkawkawa for a fun weekend full of the little things that become core memories.
Thank You for allowing us in on this weekend💙🩵 taken in Kawkawa Camp & Retreat by @warriorliam
