Evaluation & Sutures

Hawke is doing well on his road to recovery. Of course as parents we are still skeptical of every whine and complaint (still evaluating the shunt and its impact on Hawke's ICP (inter-cranial pressure). We just had a meeting with several therapists and specialists evaluating his progress and what goals were accomplished that were set last year. He accomplished so much! We have high expectations as long as this shunt is correct as his behavior seems to tell us his icp is good. Please consider donating in Hawke's name to increase research and development and to find a cure. The technology exists in manufacturing engineering but the funding is lacking. http://walk4hydro.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=450046&lis=1&kntae450046=919DF28451004601A1150CFEF5C59874&supId=0&team=4021402&cj Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

Hawke is home!

This past 45 days has taught me a lot; Life. Its not a "right" or "guarantee" to live. . it is purely a gift from God, given to us freely. What am I going to do to embrace this gift for the gift it is? Love more! Praise more! Live! Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®
