It's my son's 7th birthday today. He was born 12 weeks early weighing in at two pounds, 11 ounces. At three and a half months, he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia. He spent almost the entire first year of his life in the hospital fighting for his life. We had a few close calls, but he amazed us all. At almost 3 years of age, he was diagnosed with Autism. Last summer he was diagnosed with Epilepsy. But you know what? He never stops smiling. He never gives up. We celebrated 5 years cancer free last May and this is a picture of him on one of his favorite attractions. We can't wait to come back to his favorite place. ;)
