  My first born, my beloved son Brock was born with an undetected congenital heart defeat. &nbsp;No health concerns alarmed the doctors and he went home with me after he was born. &nbsp;On the 12th day of his life. I rushed Brock to the pediatrician. &nbsp;He went into cardiac arrest and was flown to Primary Children&apos;s Hospital. &nbsp;On the 13th day, Brock was brain dead and was taken off life support. &nbsp;I held him as long as I could. &nbsp;Autopsy revealed Brock had hypoplastic left heart syndrome, &nbsp;he only had two chambers pin size aorta &nbsp;and a transversed heart. &nbsp;Losing my baby was the hardest thing I went through, it was hell !!! I have been blessed with a son, twin daughters and another son❤ Brock is with my heart and not a day goes by that I don&apos;t think about him💕

  I am so impressed with this whole family. I had a very close friend who had a baby boy with Hypoplastic left heart. What heart he was born with was backwards in his chest. So he wasn&apos;t even a candidate for a heart transplant. He has had many surgeries through his lifetime. He is now in his mid 30s. And a real blessing ❤

  I just wanna tell you that this documentary was amazing. It shook me to the court because my nephew Maddie has the exact same condition. They told us that Maddie would die when he was too. He had his big surgery when he was six, but he would never know he would even sick at all. He’s now just about to be 16 in about a couple weeks. And he’s so incredibly strong or as Bowen would say. Hearts strong. He’s 16. You would never even know he’d been sick. When people ask about his scar he’s like oh yeah I just had a big Surgery is all no big thing. When he woke up from all the meds and everything and the tube are out. He said hey daddy it’s football time. That boy is unstoppable. He’s so funny and so strong. Or our buddy Bowen would say. He’s so heart strong. You never even know he was ever sick and he’s that strong now. Healthy as ever, but he maintains a very healthy diet to keep his heart strong and he exercises a lot, but you would never even know he had been that sick. It’s incredible. But I just want to say Bowen you did it, bro. You’re so heart strong don’t ever give up you stay strong and don’t ever ever stop. and I gotta say mom and dad you guys did it even though you were scared you stayed by him and you got him through that surgery and he did just fine. And he’s even more heart strong now because you did that with him. Stay strong and don’t forget you are awesome. You’re definitely an inspiration.

  I have had this story in my “to watch” list for a couple of weeks and I got to watch it today. To me your journey is really marked by the strength of your family and how you support one another, the strength and courage of Bowen, the dedication of his medical team, and the support from your community… I also fully identify with the things that you said at the end of the video Matt - being a parent in these situations is not easy and I have seen a number of marriages come to an end after the stress of a dread disease affecting a child. My youngest son is in remission from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, so we are familiar with the pain, the stress and the ups and downs - it is not easy and quite a number of the kids that out son was in hospital with did not survive, including three others admitted around the time that he was in the same ward. Thank you for sharing your story - it is courageous of you. I wish you well and hope that Bowen continues to do well. I will look for his music - which is really cool. Take care. 🙏🙂❤️

  We have some dear friends whose son was born with this same condition. They opted for surgeries, not transplant. He is now in his early 20&apos;s. We know him as Superman. Your sweet Bowen is a beautiful soul. ♥️

  I noticed something so brief...so small...but so powerful. Right after Bowens surgery, his mom was hugging his oldest sister. She was crying out of joy for Bowen. And when her mom was hugging her... the other sister looked over and saw big sister crying. She reached over and put her hand on her and leaned in to hug her. I felt so much love in that moment. The younger sister seemed so strong. Guarded even. Those kids have such battles in life already. So she seems like she stays safe and cautious of her emotions. But that was such a testament of her heart. Idk. I dont even know any of them, but something about that moment really made me feel so much emotion. I dont know how I ran across this documentary, but it was so worth it. I want all of the blessings for this family. &nbsp;🙏
