Baby Having Open Heart Surgery

JoshuaCoats posted July 22, 2011 23:35 ago

A couple weeks ago I found out that my 7 month old baby Paxton was going to need a second open heart surgery. I've never been hit with anything so hard in my life. The first time was the worst thing I've ever had to deal with in my life. I knew the second time would be just as hard, if not harder.
The thing that makes it worse is that I have no vacation time at work, and I'm the only income, my wife is a stay at home mom. So basically, i have to choose between paying bills and being with my son. Of course, I've chosen to be with my son, and I'd like to be there until he comes home from the hospital.
This is what inspired me to start NEVER QUIT apparel. I'm hoping that my tee shirts will not only help provide an income for my family, but will also inspire others to never quit on life, love, and dreams. Bad things happen in life, and sometimes it brings us down. But we all have to get back up, keep fighting, keep living, and keep dreaming. I hope that you will help me to keep fighting, and I'd love to help you!

    Hey everybody, i'm new to storenvy.com and am not sure where it notifies you of when people comment on posts. But thank you everyone so much for reading my story! He had his surgery yesterday and everything went great. So far through selling shirts and playing a benefit show with my band i've raised enough money to take off a week of work. So thanks to everyone that's followed my page. If you haven't found my page yet, it's at www.neverquit.storenvy.com. Thanks again and I will try to keep everyone posted on progress!
