February 23rd

I was cleaning out one of our third floor rooms and found cards that people had sent us in the beginning of Seth's journey. How touching it was to read all of the love and support again. I sat and cried to remember how scary of a time that was for us not knowing the outcome of this journey. At the time I did not know if Seth was going to survive brain surgery. In my heart I knew that God was big enough to save Seth but I also knew the reality of what we were dealing with when you operate on a major part of your body. I am so thankful to look back through the past 2 years and be in owe of Gods faithfullness! On February 15th we celebrated Seth's 13th birthday. He is now officially a teenager! Seth told me last year that his wish would be that he would be able to run again for his 13th birthday. Well.... he ran! Not super fast like he used to but he is starting to run again...another milestone that Seth is crossing on the road to recovery. In two weeks our family is taking a trip to Charlotte North Carolina. We are going to the Richard Petty driving school. This is Seth's Make a Wish trip. He has waited for this trip for 2 years and it is finally going to happen. Seth's wish is to go REALLY fast in a race car and that is what he is getting. BTW.... Seth is not getting a brain stress test that was a miss communication between us and the doctors. The next time he goes to Hopkins will be for routine blood work.
