Hayden's Benefit

Hello everyone! First off, I want to thank everyone SO MUCH for coming to Hayden’s 1st birthday party…I think we can all agree it was the largest (as in people) b-day party ever =) Thank y’all so much, Hayden truly is loved and you guys are so appreciated!

I know that some people have been throwing the idea around of throwing Hayden a benefit. Brenda and I have been discussing it, and think it would be great to do this summer (June or July?) Because it is such a large task guess we should start somewhere. I am in the works to get the DPFD Rec hall (where Lisa and D got married).

Because it will take lots of work and will need all the help possible, Brenda made a forum to help keep track of Hayden's benefit. This is a GREAT and organized place (internet site) where we can keep track of everything, for example: food, venue, donations, etc. We can throw ideas around and keep them all organized! Here is the address:

I know it's long but it's free. Brenda is going to have some business cards made up for it. The only rule is to join using your REAL first name and last name. Since we all will know each other, it will be easier that way. So go look it over, tell us what you think!!!

Once you register and log-in, you can bookmark the page and it should keep you logged in on your computer. (On AOL, click the little heart and click "add to TOOLBAR" then enter Hayden under the symbol and it will be in your toolbar across the top: Accessible with one-click)

The more people to become involved, the better! You never know who knows who till the word starts spreading!!!

I am going to research the “correct way” to ask for donations (from Wal-Mart, private businesses, etc) and will post it in the forum…we definitely do not want businesses “hit up” more than once! It could be GREAT publicity for companies, and hey-we are all doing this for a GREAT cause: Mr. Hayden’s future!

Hope to see everyone register with the forum and begin posting ideas…maybe we can have a meeting sometime in the near future:

1. To see who is all “on board” =)

2. To all be on the same starting point/page


Thank y’all so much! Can’t wait to get this thing started…wouldn’t it be so nice if we could help secure Hayden’s financial future to ensure he will have all of the things he is going to need? This would be one less stress on Lisa’s plate, and we ALL know she could use less stress =) She's is truly an inspiration to us all, and so is her BEAUTIFUL miracle "BIG boy"!!

And hey…who is gonna pass up a fun day with great food?

Love you guys...hope to see you on the forum!!!

Hayden is Home

Wednesday, we took Mr. Hayden to TX Children ER because he showed all the signs of a shunt malfunction (the same signs that caused him to need all 3 shunt revision surgeries before)...sleepiness, vomiting, fever, refusing to eat, etc. Poor Lisa was so nervous that he needed to have yet another surgery to fix his shunt and that he would miss his 1st B-Day party =(

After all of the tests, scans, and X-rays...and waiting for the results all day...docs finally told us that he was just severely dehydrated (from the vomiting/refusal to eat)...NOT that this was great news, but it was better news than surgery! Lisa and Hayden stayed overnight so that he could be observed and get the fluids he needed, and came home this afternoon!

He is looking cute as ever (duh) and ready for his BIRTHDAY PARTY Saturday!! Hope to see everyone there!

Love yall!!

Hayden's B-Day!

Hey everyone!

Hayden's 1st Birthday and party are coming up on March 21st! Can you believe he will be a year old already??? The party will be at my house at 2:00!

We are so thankful and blessed to have Hayden on this earth, after everything he has been through. He is definitely our litle fighter man!

If anyone is wondering, Hayden needs toys that light up and sing, diapers size 3-5, sleepers 9-12 mo., soft or classical CDs, and wears 6-9 mo. pants. I think he needs some socks, too =)

Thanks everyone, hope to see ya here Saturday!
