    Just wanted to give everyone who knows about the situation with my son an update, and thank you all for the kind words and prayers.

    Liam went through heart surgery on March 8th, at 12 days old.

    He's now just over 2 months, and he's doing very well. The surgery was an amazing success and he's 99.9% recovered and on the road to a very normal life. :)

    Here's some pics of the little man...

    1 day old... before we knew about his condition.

    At the childrens hospital in Minneapolis before his surgery. he needed some time to get ready as his liver, kidneys, and lungs had started to have some issues.

    After the surgery, in recovery. He was home shortly afterward.

    And finally, some random pics of him since he's been home.

    He's a pretty easy baby... doesn't fuss much, smiles ALL the time, sleeps almost all night already. Loves to be held and cuddled, talks to mom and dad a lot when he's awake.... we're just very blessed.

    We just wanted to give everyone an update though, and thank you all from the bottoms of our hearts for all the support.

    Jamal, Katie, and Liam Padraig. :)

    Excellent news. I've been following your family's story and It's great to see that all is well.

    I thought my kids were good looking. Liam's is honestly one of the cutest babies I've ever seen. Congratulations.
