Our beautiful son, Brady Blaine, was born on March 16, 2006, and passed away on his 2nd birthday, March 16, 2008. During his two years of life, he endured two major surgeries, including open heart surgery and a living kidney transplant. He also underwent 8 other surgeries as well. He had problems with every major system in his body – in addition to his heart and kidneys, he had dandy walker variant in his brain, was blind, fed through a feeding tube in his stomach and had additional underlying problems as well. He was never given a “diagnosis.” We spent more than half of his life in and out of various children’s hospitals, mainly staying in their NICU and PICUs. We loved every single second we were given to spend with Brady and his life has inspired us to give back to others who are in similar situations to what we were with him. Before Brady we had no idea what this life was like and all we want to do now is make life easier for critically ill and disabled children.
