When I went out to visit John (aka VegasRacer) a few weekends ago, he was so thoughtful in giving me a wrapped present for Hunter.

We waited until this morning to open it and discovered a handsome German Shepard stuffed toy for Hunter.

Here he is with it.

Thanks John, for your kindness and thougtfulness.

Hey Karl,

How's Hunter doing? He looks good!

Hunter has been not so good lately. It's been a challenging 3-4 months. We have been battling constant seizures, fevers, illness, etc. He had a bad eye infection for a month.

Needless to say my wife is exhausted. It's been wearing me down, although I have been mostly busy with work

We still haven't had his feeding tube replaced (was supposed to be the end of September), because he hasn't been stable enough.

We're just hoping for a period of stability, because we need it. It's been a really busy year for us between selling our old house, moving, three hurricanes and then the difficult past 3-4 months.

I am hoping that 2005 will not prove to be too difficult for Hunter. It's not fair to him either. I am also hoping that we don't continue to see a downtrend in his health...

Thanks for asking.

Regards,

Qarl

P.S. I should have combed his hair for the photo. He's due for a haircut too and he has bad morning hair, so it probably didn't matter.

I can hardly imagine what it would be to be in your shoes.
My hat's off to you and your wife for keeping things together
Give Hunter a big x-mas hug from all of us!

cheers,

Jeroen

Around here we call that look "Helmet Hair".
It's all the fashion with the Auto-X Racers and Track Stars.

Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year to the entire Ellzey family.
