Heavily beating the Odds!!
Not that we didn't know it before, be we have a couple amazing kids!! We continue to face everyday with a determined face and mindset in the presence of the unknown. The medical team at Stanford has continually warned us of what is to come during his treatment and what to expect, and we have not been shaken by what they have told us. Against all odds Hayden has had great looking blood results, an outstanding attitude, the sores said to riddle his body had subsided and gone away just days after starting the meds WE decided to start treating him with. He's been eating like a horse and packing back on all the weight he initially dropped when is treatment began. Hydration has always been an issue due to the toxic concoction of chemo they introduce into his little body every week, but we're mindful of it and do our best to keep him constantly sipping on some spring water. Hayden has also steam rolled through his 30 days of radiation...today is MLK day, and he's got just 4 treatments left this week and he's done with radiation!! Praise The Lord for that today especially! We continue to send him to school as often as possible to be with his friends and remind him he's got many things to learn including his part in a play at school that he is so excited about. Things have been good, just different as you can probably imagine, but we can't complain one bit! Our family is still together, we're witnessing miraculous healing of our son Hayden everyday and living in amazement of his strength and determination to reach the goal! We will be celebrating at the end of the week with Hayden to recognize the milestone he has reached by completing his radiation treatments. Won't you join us and congratulate our little warrior for a job well done? GREAT JOB HAYDEN, WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH and ARE SO PROUD OF YOU! With love~ Mom, Dad and Garrett

We at Mountain School are amazed by him as well. He is an inspiration and a true delight. His Second Grade class play is scheduled for Wednesday January 28 at 7:00p and again on Friday, January 30 at 11:00. Come watch him shine!
Congratulations to Hayden. You are certainly one off the bravest and strongest kids I know. You are more like. A ninja warrior than a kid. I am so proud of you, and most of all I love seeing you at school. You have the biggest smile of anybody I know. I'm also very proud of your mom and dad and your little brother. They are certainly doing all they can to help you towards getting better. Keep your spirits high Hayden. You certainly are teaching people to appreciate everyday..hugs, Mr. Rudy

Great job Hayden..woo hoo-you CAN do it and you are :-) Congratulations for the end of radiation at the end of this week! YEAH!! Keep walking towards the sunshine and leave the dark shadows behind you :-) Hugs to your mom, dad and brother. Love, Marie
Hayden, I'm praying for you daily. You would stay with your brother in my Pufferfish room at Twin Lakes Church. What a great brother you are! God's grace and blessings to you and your family. Prayers for a complete recovery! Dana Mumm
Hayden is a true super hero with all of you supporting him through the battle of his life. I don't know if you know that coconut water is a good source of hydration and replenishing electrolytes and potassium to the body-really hydrating. FYI Continuing to keep you all in my prayers and sending healing hugs. Love Marie
