Chrystina, this is a wonderful page you have created for your son. I did make a modest PayPal donation, wish it could have been more. I wish you every success and hope you will tell visitors a little bit about the medical procedure you hope for too, as information on Wikipedia did not seem to be plentiful.
As a webmaster I must say your page and layout is excellent too. I would like to put a link to Gavyn’s page on my site if this is OK, and hope it will help a little bit.
Love to you, Russ and Gavyn,
Uncle Alex
