Born in August of 2009, little Kai only a few weeks old in the above pic (now 2 months old) is already a little warrior and inspirational teacher. Only eight days of age, Kai underwent heart surgery and has since survived cardiac arrest, tachycardia (and other abnormal heart rhythms), pneumothorax (punctured lung), chylothorax, and countless post-surgical complications, blood clots, and infections, each one threatening his survival. This week, Kai's parents Melissa and Chris Hogan, who moved from their home in Courtney B.C. to Vancouver for Kai's birth celebrate their first son; the amazing medical team at the hospital that became their second family; Kai's strength and the abundance of love his short life has already brought to their lives; the lessons he's shared thus far in survival, love, life, and what's truly important; their first days out of the hospital as a a family; and their trip back home to Courtney just recently. 
Chris and Meliss, the way you have come together, harnessed support, and have done what was needed in times of such fear and struggle show that your love and courage know no limits.
