Hello Keaton,

I would like to say that you are truly an inspiration to kids. You have fought most of your life to a life-threatening disease.

Hey Keaton - good for you!!! I hope this finds you well and enjoying the summer weather. Being off the meds is great -we are approaching the one year OT mark and he is really looking forward to going from monthly bloodwork to once every 3 months! I cant believe how time is flying, that you've been done for what...almost 3 years already?

Hi Keaton,
I love your webpage and pictures. You look so handsome - especially in a tuxedo! I know you from ALL Kids online. Did you get laughing gas when you got your teeth pulled? I've never heard of it making anyone laugh, so I don't know why they call it "laughing gas." Do you? My daughter has ALL too. I'm praying for you.

Wow Keaton- I would NOT have believed it was the same person in the first picture as compared to the wedding one. What good looking kids you two are.
I came across your page in the ACOR listing.
My son will be 5 next month & has ALL.
We are in long term maintenance now, so the bulk of the shots is finally behind us.
I want to wish you all a happy & healthy holiday!

Hi Keaton. I know your mom from ALL-KIDS. 56 leg shots must be a record number. Sounds like the summer was good. Hope those counts bounce up soon. My son Rich is 18 and he just left for college. He HATED the leg shots, but didn't have as many as you.

Hi Keaton,
Sounds like you guys had a wonderful vacation in Tenn, we are going to Cookville Tenn. over Labor Day, I have a good friend from highschool that moved there when she first was married. It is great going there the people are so nice and so happy to get to know you. I guess you could say its country living. I saw your mom the other day at the beauty shop, as you know she tries to get beautified(ha Ha.) I was just wondering when you were coming to the shop to sweep the floors. You know you were good at that. Stop by and see us soon.Would love to see you,Kayla and of course your mom. Glad to know that you are doing good. See you soon

I'm in Child Study with your mom--we need to study a lot, we moms! Too bad we didn't meet up with you at Kaydee Fry's pool this summer. My daughter Stephanie loves to swim also. She's got to have surgery next week on her back, so she'll be at U of M hosptial for about 5 days.

Tell your mom I said "hi." Have a great rest of the summer!
