My great-nephew...and my nephew
My great-nephew, Nathan (3 years old), below was in a drowning accident in July of last year. He was not breathing when he was pulled from the pool. After 2 weeks in the hospital and 6 weeks of intensive therapy -- speech, physical and occupational -- he was left with no permanent damage -- Thank God! Today, his mother (my niece) called my father all worried--told him Nathan had replasped--wouldn't wake up except to sip Sprite, fever, etc. Ran him to Children's Hospital (about 40 miles) --- he has a virus! 
This picture was taken about a month afterwards.
Now onto my nephew. He is 23 and has already had both testicles and some lymph nodes removed due to cancer. They told him, not too long ago, that he was cancer free. He found out yesterday that the cancer had spread to his kidneys and chest (but not lungs) -- it is in stage IV -- the final stage for his type of cancer. 
He has 2 kids and one on the way. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
