We feel like we know them a little better now, although we've been big fans for awhile.<br /><br />Wish you could have known our Rusty. Eli is SO like him. Eli's personality is as if he was cloned from our boy. Rusty was our hero. He had over 50 surgeries and went through so much, including 8 years of 3x weekly hemodialysis, but never lost his great smile or hilarious sense of humor.<br /><br />Thank you for being so willing to share your family with us. We are PRAYING HARD about next week. At times like these, God is always SO faithful to keep those who need our prayers right in the front of our thoughts. God bless you all! Rob and Kathy Gandy, Ada, Oklahoma<br /><br />PS We know that Eli will have much pain and probably some emotional distress for awhile, but to think of him walking by Christmas is just amazing! Even if it takes a little longer than that, it will be such a miracle for him and for you all!Rob and Kathy Gandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293150125648303777.post-9599449892846815182010-07-17T21:34:42.237-05:002010-07-17T21:34:42.237-05:00Praying for you all in every way.I have never met ...Praying for you all in every way.I have never met you personally (as I said before I know Nadra through the Dillon India list and her blog) but pray for you and for your sweet boy and read about his journeys.Our son Sam has some special needs of his own and I kno how much those prayers and words can mean.<br />LevetaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293150125648303777.post-80847960512760581022010-07-17T20:50:05.984-05:002010-07-17T20:50:05.984-05:00That was an incredibly enjoyable ten minutes!!!

What a difference!!! I am amazed. <br /><br />And Miss Sophia, you have a very lovely voice. You are such a great big sister!<br /><br />You know you are in our prayers. And David, don't be too surprised if Eli IS walking by Christmas. I wouldn't put it past him. He is a very smart and determined little boy. <br /><br />Please keep the updates coming!Hewett Happeningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07518522076289382352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293150125648303777.post-44243055416381232872010-07-16T23:35:21.423-05:002010-07-16T23:35:21.423-05:00I sure do love your boy.
