A Miracle
In our times it’s easy to stick in your private world and keep concern for yourself. Who could blame you? The economy, jobs, a health-care situation and we live in a world where it seems us as a race (and i’m not talking black, white, green or red), i’m saying as a human race, some have seem to have lost what life is about. How much impact can you make on the world? What can you do to make a person’s day better? What can you do to help out a friend in need, let alone would you a stranger?
I have always been a giving person. I find it far more rewarding personally in my heart, not a big display, than to recieve. However I am humbled by the extreme outpouring of support my family has recieved in our time of extreme crisis.
I want to quickly share with you something I think you all should know.
Congenital heart defects are America’s and every country’s #1 birth defect. Nearly one of every 100 babies are born with a CHD.
Congenital heart defects are the #1 cause of birth defect related deaths. (out of EVERYTHING, #1, TOP)
Congenital heart defects are the leading cause of all infant deaths in the United States. (more babies die of a CHD than cancer or ANYTHING)
Each year approximately 40,000 babies are born in the United States with a congenital heart defect.
Thousands of them will not reach their first birthday and thousands more die before they reach adulthood.
Each year over 1,000,000 babies are born worldwide with a congenital heart defect.
100,000 of them will not live to see their first birthday and thousands more die before they reach adulthood.
Onto a more lighter side of things. There are some people that need some serious thanking, the DeDiego’s, Moynie’s, Hamman’s and all my heart-families, all my old friends from high school and people I don’t even know. Thank you for reposting Aiden’s Cause and his site, keep it up please! Tracy and I are keeping very strong because of the level of support, we need to keep this going.
If you could understand the intensity, we face a very serious situation, they’ve never seen anything like my son even though he’s as perfect as an Angel. Only God knows Aiden’s plan, whether he will remain on earth to continue showing people awareness and that nothing is impossible through God or maybe his job has been done. I don’t think Aiden has reached enough people yet, even though he has affected so many… he changed my life, I was shy sometimes to sing God’s name on a public setting, I could hear (oh he’s a jesus nut) — Aiden showed me it’s ok… It’s ok to believe in the power of God and what he can do, look at how Aiden’s plan has been setup by God, i’m just here to report it to you. You are all witnessing continued miracles from the Lord and I pray we all see a MAJOR miracle, Aiden survive the surgery and fight off how sick he will be after it. In your name Heavenly Father this we pray.

If you’d like some default text to put up when sharing:
“The Beers family would appreciate prayers for their newborn who will undergo open heart surgery Monday at 11AM. They ask that you pray for the Dr.’s and staff caring for Aiden as well as for them. Seeing a child after heart surgery is VERY hard on a parent, pray that they the Lord bestows upon them divine calm and keep his hand guiding the Dr. while holding Aiden in his palm. Please join his cause to show solidarity with this family.”
So if you are a member of Saving Aiden Matthew Beers, send a link to all of your friends, my family would appreciate all the support we can get.
Thank you again everyone, this would be impossible without you.
Love,
Levi & Tracy

Tracy and Levi, First of all Congrats! He’s beautiful!I have been praying for you and I will stop what I am doing on Mon at 11am and pray for a miracle for your son and the doctors! Casi
I will be thinking about your little Heart Baby and praying for him on Monday during his surgery. I am praying now that he stays strong until his surgery and that he has a successful surgery and a quick recovery.
Congratulations on such a beautiful little angel. Found your blog through a friend and our thoughts and prayers are with you and you family and your little angel. My wife and I have been down a very similar road, so many new terms, so many discussions, so many new faces, new acronyms, so many sleepless nights, ups and mostly downs, highs and lows. Unfortunately our little man lost his battle after only 9 precious months with us. My wife has begun a new chapter of a nation wide non-profit called It’s My Heart. Please add to your list of websites http://www.itsmyheart.org. This is a strong and rapidly growing non-profit for the purpose of spreading awareness of CHD and support to the families of children with CHD. Your little angel with be prayed for at 1100 am on Monday.
your family is in our thoughts and prayers!!! i am also a heart mommy trying to raise awareness for our CHD babies! http://chdbabies.blogspot.com
we will be praying!
So, I’ve never been one for religion… or prayer for that matter, but when I saw the pics of your baby and the way you look at him, something overwhelmed me. Tears did well up and I want you to know that I’ll be praying then when he’ll need it the most. My prayers and thoughts are now with you at this moment and will be as long as they’re needed, but Mon. at 11 AM I’ll be giving my complete focus to Aiden and his family.
