MIRACLES WILL SET YOU FREE


My Soul is Full of SUNSHINE

This blog entry is soooo full of joy that I have trouble
finding the words to describe my happiness.
My eyes continue to tear up due to the 
 GRATEFULNESS that
is in my heart.

My oldest son has had health issues all
of his life. When he had just turned 7 months old,
he contracted spinal meningitis and almost died.
Since that illness he has had many, many surgeries
throughout his entire life.

At the end of January (after 27 1/2 years of 
depending on a shunt for survival), he was able to undergo a 
surgery that, if successful, would cure his
acquired hydracelphalas.  

Yesterday, I went with my son to his doctors 
appointment to see his neurosurgeon.
Since February, he has been 
"SHUNT FREE!"

The doctor gave him a THUMBS UP SIGN!
He handed us his card and said, "No need to call
me or come visit unless you are having problems!"

Words that I NEVER thought I would ever hear were
finally spoken and left me feeling sooo
BLESSED.

There is also a gratefulness to all of our
family and friends who have supported us and prayed for us
all of these years and  to the neurosurgens and their teams that
have taken care of William. 
Dr. Roger Hudgins
Dr. Florence Barnett
and 
Dr. Jon T. Willie

How do you repay someone who has given you
a MIRACLE?

Since my son's surgery...I continue to see this special
young man change daily.  Just the simple act of sleeping
is different.  He smiles more each day and gives me
 gentle, genuine hugs full of love and
 gratefulness. He is forever 
changed.... as is his family.

I BELIEVE in MIRACLES!
