We had the honor of celebrating a very special little boy today, Brody. He is the son of a family friend and he turned one today! Brody was diagnosed with Pfeiffer Syndrome (Type 2) when he was just a few days old. He also has what is known as a trachea sleeve. It is very uncommon, so uncommon that he is only the 13th person documented with it in the world! He is a tough little man and has been through several surgeries, but pulled through them like a champ. His mom and dad had to cancel his first birthday party because his most recent surgery was just a couple weeks ago. Because of that, she came up with the brilliant idea to throw him a virtual birthday party. She asked all her friends and family to celebrate however they wished in honor of her little man. We decided we wanted to celebrate with him all the way from Italy, so here are some pictures from our day...
Getting ready to go celebrate Brody turning 1!
First we had donuts for breakfast. I really wanted some with sprinkles, or even chocolate, but they didn't have any. So plain sugar donuts it was!
Then we went to the park. Connor always has fun when he goes there!
Lastly, Connor put on a party hat and ate a couple chocolate chip cookies!
Happy birthday Brody! We had fun celebrating you birthday and hope you have an awesome day :)

**Most recently, Brody's insurance (both Medicaid and Tricare) denied covering his trip to see some very good doctors in Cincinnati that would be able to help him. His mom has made it clear that she is going to do whatever it takes to get her baby over there. If you would like to donate to help them out, you can do it here: http://www.gofundme.com/58c7p4
