July 2008
Full circle, 365 Days...In other words, the day we have been dreading in our minds...the anniversary of the day we first noticed something wrong with Connor. BBQ at Nini's house that ended up starting us on this roller coaster we haven't been able to get off of...
I will never forget the first moment I saw Connor's eyes begin jerking-I knew something wasn't right. I didn't know how bad it was, or what it was-but my baby boy was changing right before my eyes.
July 4th will always have bad memories for me and Sam...but it has something else too that I am trying to focus on this year on this "anniversary".
BLESSINGS
We were given these signs that something was wrong with our son...signs that helped us find his cancer early...We have been blessed with wonderful doctors, compassionate nurses, and a supportive family. We thank God for all He has guided us through this year. Here are some pictures of Connor-one taken last year on the 4th of July and one from a few days ago. Our little guy has come so far! Through CT scans, MIBG and Bone scans, EEG's, over 10 IVIG infusions, 6 rounds of chemotherapy, speech therapy, countless blood tests, and through almost all of it with a smile on his face-now that is a true hero! Mama, Daddy, Sissy, Bubba, & Samantha love you more than you can imagine!

God Bless You All! We had a wonderful time yesterday...day by day making good memories with each other. I love you all so much! Connor has grown up so much in a year...such a little boy now.
Your strength and faith never ceases to amaze me. Connor looks like such a young man now - so tall, dark and handsome!
Thinking of you and hoping that being with your family this weekend brought comfort during what I know was a difficult time for you.
