On Sept.18,2003...Keaton was born thirteen weeks early. He left our small town in Texas in a Helicopter for Dallas Methodist Hosp...where He remained for over 6 months, with several trips to Children's here also..He had 8 surgeries before he was one year old..HIs left brain is impaired from bleeding, and He has a stunt in his head drain off fluid..He can't walk without a walker, He only speaks a few words..but he has come so far. Handicapped children can become victims of abuse , more so than normal kids, because they require so much care and attention..nearly three years ago, His own dad, scalded his behind and legs , because he had pooped his diaper, and as he changed him, he rolled over,and got some on the sofa..He left my grand daughter to take him to the ER..and they arrested him, he is now serving time for felony abuse..My grand daughter has worked and gone to college , and kept Keaton in therapy, and now she has two more boys, they are fine..but she has her hands full, we don't have resources to help much..She needs a van for her three boys, one which can carry a wheelchair..It has been a rough road, but she has been the strongest gal, I ever saw..she is my hero..The world has not been so kind to her, now she has a wonderful guy in her life, that is very good to the boys, but they could use some help, with getting a way to get them all to doctors and school, etc. If I could, I would get her anything they need, but I live on SS...and believe me, with the prices of things now, I barely make it with enough food to eat..If you met them you would be taken in by Keaton's hugs, and kisses..He is the greatest Joy of my life..They gave up on him many times in the Hospital, tried to get her to unplug him, but she told them, "You don't know what God can Do" and he started to come around that day.Our prayers got this child to where he is today...God has plans for him, I know...I see people on TV all the time get houses, cars, and help, no one is more deserving than this little family ...God bless your work, Dr Phil...and long may Texas be Free...Nana,from Texas...
