Please pray for one of our little friends. Many of you may have checked out his web site before, www.Spencerhawk.com . This was posted on our support group site that Spencer is in surgery and it is taking much longer than expected. It looks like the leg they are operating on may need to be amputated. They had attempted to straighten it a few months ago, while at the same time they amputated the other leg. There were complications with the first surgery, but this time they were going to put an external fixator on it, however they have lost circulation in his foot, and may not be able to save the leg. He is in California, and has a different surgeon than Zac, but it really hits home! Please, please pray for this little guy. He is now 7 yrs old, and is very similar to Zac in that he has the shortest arms and fused knees.
Thank you all!
Even youth grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:30-31
Current status
Thanks for stopping by! Our little trooper is doing well. He is now walking with out assistance (short distances), nearly running and dancing. It truly is amazing, and it still takes my breath away when I see him on his feet!
Zac's platelet levels have remained at a safe level (about 1/4 of the average child) since he was 3 1/2 months old!
Cai is the protective, helpful older brother...with the exception of those "normal" brotherly love moments;-)
All in all we are doing well, just dealing primarily with "normal" life challenges. We are so pleased to have gone through the past few years to be where we are now. It truly has been the best of times -the worst of times. We thank God, and our friends and family and all of you who have given in so many ways to help us through, we are so grateful!!!
