Donations for Drake and his family

Hello everyone!  I am coming to you to request donations for our nephew Drake.  Money is short especially since his mother is now out of sick time at work.  If you would like to make a donation please visit his Caringbridge Site at www.caringbridge.org/tx/drakedahn.  Anything will help!

Also PLEASE keep those prayers coming!  He and his family desperately need them!  His father and sister had to go home so it is just Mom, Grandma, and Drake left in Memphis.  He is currently at Children's Hospital there and will be doing follow up treatment at St. Jude's Hospital.

Thank you and here is a recent image of him in the hospital. 

 

What have I been up to?

Wow!  It has been awhile since I have posted to my blog and I apologize for that!  The last couple of months have been busy both personally and professionally!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that your New Year has started off on the right foot!

First I would like to request prayers for my nephew, Drake, and his family for he recently had a major surgery.  At the age of 13 he has already been through so much!  In 2002 he was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma which is a brain tumor.  He spent a great deal of time at St. Jude's Hospital where they were able to help him tremendously.  Unfortunately Drake has had to return to their care due to another cancer forming this time in his lower jaw.  On Monday, January 4th, 2010 Drake had his lower jaw removed and they replaced it with a bone from his leg.  Thank God he has had such wonderful people both at St. Jude's and at the Children's Hospital in Memphis, TN. 

This has taken its toll on him and his family for this past year they finally felt like their lives were getting back to normal.  If you are interested in keeping tabs on their progress please visit Drake's website at www.caringbridge.org/tx/drakedahn.  They have a guestbook that you can sign and let them know you are thinking of them.  If you are interested in donating please shoot me an email and I will get you information on the best way to help them out.

Below are some photographs taken just after Christmas prior to the surgery.  

Drake loves his Legos!  I don't know how he and his dad find the patience to put these large ships together!

He is still the big brother to his sister Gillian and he loves to tease her!

 The pressure is on for Gillian.......will she make it or will she get a letter in "PIG"?

Please keep their family in your thoughts and prayers!  

Here are some images from recent projects!  Enjoy and Happy New Year!
