My son played basketball tonight...
in the parent/faculty game at his son's elementary school. It's hard to believe that since only two years ago this month he had just gotten home from the hospital/rehab in a wheelchair, with a feeding tube, and unable to talk or walk. He's my hero!!!!!!!:headbang: :applause: :fistbump: :bounce:

12. Benign brain tumor summer of '09.
Endured 22 hours of brain surgery to remove baseball sized tumor. Only permanent difficulties are loss of hearing in one ear, slight paralyzed right side of face, and problems with balance, but he's a trooper and has made a stupendous recovery. He's only 35 and is now back on the road to good health.

Thanks for asking. :hi:
