What makes my heart skip a beat! Well, so many things so, but today I will say it's seeing my 10 yr old son Rhys with a rare genetic disorder called Hurlers Syndrome, continue to flourish and embrace life with all that he has. This week, we came across pictures of his 4th birthday party in which we had the pleasure of having his amazing and generous Bone Marrow Donor here to celebrate that special occasion. If it were not for this incredible, unselfish individual, we would most likely not have our precious son with us today. And because this past Tuesday was Rhys's annual bone marrow transplant checkup at The Hospital For Sick Children in which he got the thumbs up that everything is still going great and how amazed the doctors are with him after everything he has been through, I find it fitting that this be my "what makes my heart skip a beat" post as an entry over at Old Lady Morgan's blog for her wonderful giveaway!
Many hugs, Trish
So glad your son is doing so well, you must treasure celebrating the anniversary of his bone marrow transplant every year! Meeting his donor must have been wonderful. What a great person to give so much...I have never heard of Hurlers Syndrome before, but can tell by your words that that's not what you see when you look at your son...you just see Rhys...he is lucky to have you as such a wonderful mom!! ~Kriss~
