Jared is our little miracle boy!  Six days after he was born he had open heart surgery.  Within the first 24 hours of that surgery he almost died.  We really didn't know what his life would hold after he was diagnosed with Noonan Syndrome.  There were so many varying disabilities that came with it. 

Today Jared is a smart 4 1/2 year old that amazes us everyday with his humor and understanding.  He memorizes a new scripture every month, and he is starting to be more stable on his feet.  He even did a little bit of running on a t-ball team this year.

Jared's future holds at least 2 more heart surgeries to replace a weak valve.  We hope that his feet and legs will grow stonger with age and that he will soon have no need of the current braces he wears.
