Superheroes are chosen for their strength and ability to fight for the greater good. There is always a villain that tries to creep in and put a wrinkle in the plan, but good always overcomes.
Our superhero has been without his cast for almost two months. He's been using his super powers to splash in the water and using his imagination to pretend he's on a pirate ship, singing, "Yo ho mateys away, there'll be treasure and adventure today..." While our superhero has been cheering and searching for adventure, his scoliosis villain has been scheming. Hunterman's curve translated from 18 degrees in his last cast to 36 degrees out of cast. Since his last x-ray in July, it has increased to 44 degrees. Our superhero is going to keep fighting and will be getting a new disguise at the end of September, as he will be adorning a brace specifically made and molded for his body.
It's not the cape that makes the hero, but the strength and heart of the hero that defines him.
Please continue to pray for our little superhero and share his story. We know that God has a plan for him and will give him strength to overcome.
Happy Birthday Hunterman!
You are 3 years old today! We are so thankful that God chose us to be your parents. You are such a kind-hearted, affectionate, and outgoing little man. Your laugh is contagious and your spirit is one to be reckoned with. I love that you have a love for music, singing along to your favorite tunes, making drums out of anything that makes noise, and dancing with a twinkle in your eyes. You are a daily reminder that we need to embrace life, don't take things too seriously, and enjoy every minute.
You have your daddy's engineering mind and like to take things apart and see how things work. You can spot a train, bus, trash truck, tractor, and fire engine from a mile away. You are as stubborn as the day is long, but I know that your strong-willed character will, one day, make you a devoted leader.
My prayer for you this day, is that you continue to face trials with strength, be loyal, love fiercely, and continue to dance like no one is watching. In the words of Sally Clarkson, "God has given you the capacity and ability to grow strong inside, to live courageously, to have great faith, and to become a person of considerable influence in your lifetime; God has made you with such wonderful potential."
