Eric,
Thank you for your reply through pm.
I have just spent some time in reading the link that you posted with your op.
Mate....All our thoughts are with you at this momement, Im sure I speak from the heart from all of us who read this...and probably because I am removed from your family circle I can speak with true confidence without fear, that with todays technology ...the surgeons are just stunning at what they can do for your lovely little boy.
He will survive, and he will be great.
Children, for some fantastic and unknown reason are extremely brave when it comes to the child having to face these challenges, and those children look at things perhaps in a way we should all revert back to at times of struggle...they just seem to cope.
Through this journey he has to endure, he will become a better man than most, his strength, his courage..will be far greater than I wish I could ever have had.
Our house here in New Zealand is a small house, and a old house...but right now this house is thinking of little Noah.
There is a Maori saying here in New Zealand which means be strong ..KIAH KAHA!
I am not too sure just what it is, as I am not of maori descent, but when I hear this being spoken...it runs through me so strongly...so Eric, and Family...and especially to little Noah..KIA KAHA Noahs family, and Noah, KIA KAHA to you our brave little boy, life has many good times for you ahead.
God bless you and all your family.
