It's Surgery Time Again!

Well it's that time again. Mason is gearing up to have his next major cranial surgery on Tuesday, July 5th. It's nice that we were able to go 6 months without being in the hospital but it's that time again. This surgery will be the same one he had back in December of 2009. They will be opening his skull, putting in spacers (called distractors) and basically forcing his bones to grow out so as to give his brain more room to grow and release the pressure that has been building in his head since the last surgery. I will keep everyone posted as much as possible.

I have created a group on Facebook called Updates for Mason. It is open to everyone to become a member. That way I can post the updates one time and in one place for all to be able to read. Please feel free to join the group and add your friends as well if they want to keep up on the latest info about Mason!

We want to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone that helped, contributed, and participated in Mason's latest benefit in May. It was a huge success. It raised close to $7500 which helped us pay off his medical bills for this past year and we have enough to also cover our copays for this upcoming surgery as well! We cannot thank everyone enough for the love and support that continues to flow in for our family!

I know that I am behind on updating the pictures, but I will upload them in the next few weeks once everything settles down from his surgery! He is doing great, being pretty much a typical 2 year old: climbing on everything, getting into everything, and just being happy and loving life! AMEN!

Until the next update, thank you all again and again for your prayers, support and love!

Sincerely,

Allison, Justin, & Mason
