Meet the bravest kid on the face of the earth. His name is Von. I think I shall call him "Von, the Brave".
This week has been a rough one for him. He has had fever for nine days and has been to the emergency room twice in the past week and today was admitted to the hospital because he has the H1N1 flu. His infection fighting cells are at an all time low, and he may need a blood transfusion in the morning. Although his body is still not certain of how to fight sickness in the way it should, his spirit and smile are strong and lasting.
Even though the photo looks like he undergoing some Nazi scientific experiments, underneath his mask there is a smile that says, "Hey everyone, relax, it will all turn out just fine."
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you, Von the Brave!

Wow. Thank you for the update. Caleb had it last month which was scary with his asthma, although I know Von is at a much higher risk. Yes, I, too, shall call him, "Von, the Brave".
Thanks for giving us updates... We vicariously suffer together with Von, and your family, as you see God at work in this fragile moment. Standing by.
I hadn't heard Von was sick. I'm so sorry you guys have been going through this. He is the bravest kid and you are the family who have made him this way. Praying extra hard for protection from harm and also for comfort for your sweet babe.
We love you Von!
Von is going to be one tough grown up one day. I love his hair! Beautiful, handsome, strong! Von, the Brave!
