Deeds in the NICU
Four years ago our little man made his entrance into this world. He was 5 weeks early but had to be delivered because of my heart. I remember getting to see him for just a moment before they whisked him away and then not seeing him for hours until they finally let me go into the NICU. All it took was that first touch to be completly smitten with him. He is so endearing and has been touching peoples lives since them. With all his challenges he is an exceptional little boy and he is an inspiration to me and his daddy.
We love you little man and know the years to come will be amazing for you. Don’t let autism, epilepsy, PVL or the mild CP slow you down, you can do anything you set your mind to. I know you will always find a way, even if it isn’t the way others think it has to be done. We love seeing all the new and creative things your mind comes up with.
We had the birthday party on Saturday and it was an amazing hit. Makes me feel better about spending the time to make the cake and stuff. To say Deeds loved all the angry birds stuff would be a gross under exaggeration. Thanks so much to those who came. He had a rough morning with meltdowns but once we were at the party he did fantastic!! Enjoy all the pictures.

We have a friend who many years ago lost her 10 year old son. The son had cerebral palsy along with other medical problems. He was a special needs child.
He attended a special needs school and at his funeral his teacher asked if she could read a poem. His Mom shared the poem with us and I thought it was something you would like to read..
HEAVENS VERY SPECIAL CHILD
A meeting was held quite far from earth
“It’s time again for another birth”
Said the Angels to the Lord above
“This special child will need much love”
His progress may seem very slow
Accomplishments may not show
And he’ll be require special care
From the folks he meets down there
He may not run or laugh or play
His thoughts may seem quite far way
In many ways he won’t adapt
And he’ll be known as “handicapped”
So let’s be careful where he’s sent
We want his life to be content
Please, Lord, find he parents who
Will do a special job for you
The leading role they’re asked to play
They will not realize right away
But with this child sent from above
Comes stronger faith and richer love
And soon they’ll know the privilege given
In caring for this gift from Heaven
Their precious charge so meek and mild
Is “Heaven’s Very Special Child”.

Looks like you guys had fun! Sorry we missed it
Gator had stomach bug of some sorts for most of the week before and we didn’t want to pass it on to your party…
I know Gator would have loved it too, he more than enjoys playing Angry Birds (when we let him 
).
I love the angry birds theme
