UPDATE ON HAWK'S MEDICAL CONDITION:
This is the results of Hawk's MRI. This is the first MRI done since he finished with his radiation. There is a 25% reduction in the tumor!!! This is great news!!! Only 50% of the children respond to the radiation, so he is in the 50% that responded. PRAISE THE LORD. THANK ALL OF YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE PRAYERS FOR HAWK. WE GIVE ALL THE CREDIT TO GOD AND PRAYERS.
Here are some of the things that were on the medical report:
Marked interval improvement in the pontine neoplastic lesion most consistent with low grade glioma. Improved mass effect upon the fourth ventricle which is now more patent.
Improvement in effacement of the pre-pontine cistern.
FINDINGS: Since the previous study there has been marked interval improvement in the MR appearance of the pontine glioma. There has been significant decrease in size and mass effect.-----No new lesions are apparant.
Also an update on Mike:---He does have prostate cancer, but (thank the good Lord) it has not spread. He does not have to take any kind of treatments----He will be having robotic surgery at Centennial Hospital on April 21. His doctors are very positive that this will take care of the cancer and he should be doing great after he completely recuperates.
A BLOG ABOUT HAWK SMITH AND HIS FAMILY: Hawk was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor, Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, on 12/15/2005. He went Home to be with Jesus on 2/4/2007. This is about his 13 month illness and now it is a continuing story about the family that he left behind. We miss him and love him so much. A huge hole has been left in our family, but we must go on. Some days are good and some days are very sad. But he is with us every day in our hearts and memories

Hawk--November 28, 2006
I said a prayer for you taday And know God must have heard---I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word. I didn't ask for wealth or fame. I knew you wouldn't mind. I asked Him to send tresures Of a far more lasting kind. I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day. To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small. But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all. Love Nanna Gwen
