Kaydon Turns 13!!

Kaydon turns 13 today! This boys, as I've said before, is a miracle. So many operations, so many hospital stays, so much home-health and therapy. He is strong and feisty. He loves science and history. He loves, loves, loves movies. He loves Legos. He loves animals. He is still a mama's boy. Not a day goes by that he does not say, "Mom, you're so beautiful!"

This morning, I emailed his gastroenterologist, Dr. Mizell. I sent him a picture of Kaydon, who is strong and healthy. I thanked him for his tireless efforts on Kaydon's behalf. I thanked him for the mornings he would come in to our hospital room and tell me to go take a break, to go eat. I would come back to the room and find Dr. Mizell rocking Kaydon and talking to him softly. This man saved Kaydon's life, and comforted me in the process.

Kaydon starts 7th grade in a week and I can't wait to see what he can accomplish!
