XP: T&P for my nephew, please
He's having brain surgery on Friday. His parents created a webpage that will update his status. Here is his story from the webpage:
"My name is Jackson. I will soon be 3 years old. I have two amazing brothers of whom I consider my best friends. Jason is 7 and Joseph is 4 months old. I was born with Down Syndrome and Neurofibromatosis. Shortly after birth I was diagnosed with a PDA in which my doctors were able to successfully close. I have been hospitalized many times with pneumonia, yet I refuse to let that stop me. When I was a year old, I had an esophageal scope which led to the diagnosis of Laryngomalacia. Then when I was 20 months old I had two strokes within hours of each other since then I have been diagnosed with thee Antiphosphilipid and Anticardiolipin syndromes as well as Epilepsy and Moyamoya. I will be undergoing brain surgery on the 6th of February. My family and I hope that you will say an extra prayer for me and stop back to follow my progress. Mommy and Daddy will be updating my journal daily."

... every single day of forever.
I will definitely pray for him!!! Keep us updated.
I had a student that had a stroke when he was born and it caused epilepsy. He had brain surgery to remove the part of his brain that caused the siezures (he was having anywhere between 5-35 a school day) and he came through it well and hasn't had a siezure since and it's been a year and a half! I'm not sure if your nephew is having the same kind of surgery but I wanted to post this for encouragement because I know we hadn't heard of much when he went for his surgery.
Sending lots of thoughts and prayers your way - for your nephew and his family.
