I can't thank everyone enough for the thoughts and messages over the past few days. This is not going to be an easy road for us, but we're staying positive and focusing on the things we can control. There are a few quotes that fit this situation well, but my favorite is one that I'm trying to live by, and it's from "The Last Lecture" by Dr. Randy Pausch. If you are unfamiliar with it, I beg you to spend an hour and watch it on youtube. It is an inspirational lecture given by a dying man about loving life and achieving your childhood dreams.
"We cannot control the cards we are dealt, we can only play the hand"
For those that want to keep up with my son and our families' progress we have created a facebook page where we will post updates:
