Overcoming hydrocephalus

This is our son Hawke Adams! He is 6 years old. He has three awesome siblings, a great smile, and a fighting spirit. He has had 10 shunt surgeries, 8 within a four month period. Hawke was born dead along with his identical twin, Jaxon, who passed. After 13 minutes, God blessed Hawke with breath! Hawke suffered an intraventricular hemorrhage from his birth and was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at two days old. Eight months later, Hawke receive his first shunt. His family loves this cute fighter!
