Gentlemen:

I come to you , with hat in hand, to be bold for a moment and ask for good thoughts and kind thoughts towards my son.

I know a number of your DR guys, and ask that you please keep my 3 1/2 year old son in your thoughts and prayers the next week.

For those of you who do not know, my son, Ewan, startd crossing his eyes about three months ago. After initial tests and medical treatments, surgery is the only option to correct his crossing eyes.

This is a simple, 40 minute procedure, but needless to say, daddy, mommy and the rest of the family is worried sick!

On February 8, at 9:30 in the AM, my brave little boy will undergo strabismus surgery to correct his eye misalignment.

I know this is arrogant, but I would respectfully ask that all of my DR frineds on AR to please keep Ewan in their thoughts and prayers as he undergoes this procedure. Again, this is a simple operation, but positive thoughts from friends is never a bad thing.

To see my little guy at Christmas this past year, please click on the following link to see my little knuckle-head dancing to "Run, Run Rudolph" at Christmas time.

He is my pride and joy and I thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers for his surgery.

I don't know the little guy, my thoughts won't do as much as my prayers so as I unplug from the site I will lift him up in prayer. God bless you and your wife and give you peace in this situation.

There is never any shame or arrogance in asking for prayer. I do it all the time. I think that's the way God wants it. Your son is certainly in our prayers.
