JAMES HAWK SMITH

Week of Sunday 16th through Saturday 22nd.

Hawk woke up on Sunday complaining of a headache. His grandpa Ken told us about it at church.

This has us very concerned. Hawk and Skyla came home with us after church. On Monday he complained of a headache again. And again on Tuesday. Lindy called me on Tuesday and said that she was going to take him to the doctor and would I come over and get Skyla. I went to get Skyla.

Barbara had Hawk and Lindy wasn't able to contact her, so she decided to take him in to the doctor the next day. She brought Hawk on over to our house and he and Skyla spent the night with us.

The next morning, Lindy came by and got Hawk and I kept Skyla. The doctor said that Hawk looks great, but decided to take his MRI now instead of waiting until August. Lindy brought Hawk back and he wanted to spend the night again. We told him it was okay. Skyla went home with Lindy. At around 8:00 pm Hawk decided that he wanted to go home, so I took him home.

He and Skyla came back on Friday night and spent the night. Breanna and Brooke came over and played with them. When he and Breanna saw each other, they hugged and hugged. They love being together.

They were playing hide and seek under our bed and when we would find Hawk, he and Breanna told us that it really wasn't Hawk that it was only a statute of him, that Hawk had left. Anyway, the next day Hawk was playing hide and seek with Mike and I and Skyla (Breanna had gone home) and when we would find him (Skyla always shows us where he is ) he told us that it was only a statute of him. Once he told us that the real Hawk had gone to North Carolina and once he told us that he had gone to Disney World and the last time he told us that he had gone to Heaven.

Lindy took him to the doctor on Monday the 24th for his MRI. We will get the results on Thursday the 27th. He hasn't complained of a headache anymore. We pray that everything will be okay. He looks so good right now and feels so good, that it is hard to look at him and think that there is something so terribly wrong with him. I've been really depressed this week thinking about all of it.

Anyway, Hawk will start kindergarten on August 2nd. We are very thankful. When he was first diagnosed, we weren't sure if he would be able to start kindergarten or not. We are so grateful for the prayers said for him. We just pray that he will continue to do good and that the tumor will stay shrunken. Everytime I watch him play, I pray that he will be healed.

I will post on this blog on Thursday the results of his MRI.
