A Lubbock one- year- old is happy and healthy at home this evening after a near death experience.
Bodie Gannaway was born with a congenital heart defect.
His parents say it was a common defect, with an even more common fix.
Everything was fine until the corrective surgery caused an oxygen deficiency, which caused a brain defect.
Fast forward to now-- after 14 operations, 4 cardiac arrests and a foot amputation, Bodie is home and his parents said they are amazed and excited at the same time.
"His big brother is just looking forward to getting his little brother home and we've learned that families and times of crisis-- you either stand together or fall apart and we've chosen to stand together," Bodie's parents Stephanie and Jay Gannaway said.
Bodie spent 150 days in the hospital.
His parent's said doctors didn't think he would be alive today, but he is expected to live a healthy life and should learn to walk and crawl like any other child.
