Christopher Six Years Later . . . April 21, 2016

Today I am celebrating the precious life of my youngest son, Christopher Andrew. It was 6 years ago today at the age of 13 that he fell out of a tree and sustained a Severe Traumatic Brain Injury. He wasn't expected to live through the night, was in a coma for 8 days, but beat the odds.

Miraculously, he survived, thanks to the amazing doctors and nurses at UCFS Benoit Children's Hospital Oakland and the prayers of thousands of people around the world.

Christopher has completely recovered from his accident and is thriving at Boston University, about to complete his first year. I love you, Christopher, and I'm so thankful for you, your kind and loving spirit and your zeal for life! Your future is so bright and I'm so very proud of you! You're a fighter!!! ❤️
