Firsts

Everything has been a first. First time swimming, first boat ride, first popcicle and icecream cone and very first time there has been a ct scan of the squishy mass on the back of his head. And for the first time we can see that it is totally outside the brain and appears to be just under the scalp. Our visit to the surgeon on Thursday will tell for sure, but from all reports it appears that the growth can be removed. Still I'm trying not to look beyond today, but as the pieces of the puzzle begin to fit together, it's hard not to try to see the big picture of the impact we will have if we are indeed able to perform surgery. The difference we will make in this little boy's life will change him forever. Not only through the surgery we hope to perform, but through the love and laughter that we surround him with. To see the bonds that have developed already remind me that language is less important than actions and that love does build bridges. Slowly the trust contines to build, and each day our lives grow richer because of the firsts.

Peace,
