185 (3 Pics)


451 views

Sometimes good news sinks in more than once and over time.

Last week my rosy cheeked, good humored 18yr old boy asked, "Hey Ma, guess how much I weigh?"

When I found out the answer >BAM< I really took it in....

The following pictures of this beloved firstborn, Dylan, were taken on 7/7/07. He was intubated,

on paralytic drugs, fighting for his life in the ICU at Children's Hospital, St. Paul. Dylan "lost" 8

days of his young life during this time, at age 17.

The third and last picture shows Dylan on his way toward 185 - the weight that he is presently.

Those 30-40 pounds were hard earned!

Yes - this is the boy you all prayed for and well wished and sent cards and letters to.
