Guys I got to spend time with Austin Saturday. I presented he and his Dad with all the notes, stickers, call, and just stuff that was sent to him. He was tickled pink. He is doing ok, hunting and still beating the odds. The chemo and steroids are finally starting to get to him and are messing his little stomach up but he is still a trooper. He has killed 9 deer this season already. Saturday was the ODF deer hunt. He sat out and I ended up spending about an hour with him teaching him how to run a trumpet and box call. He did great. Ill put up some videos soon.
Ethan has taken a turn for the worse since we started the project. He is now deaf and going blind in one eye due to all the tumors. He is currently at Duke hospital. I saw his interpreter Saturday at the ODF event and she was going to spend Sunday with him. She said he was thrilled with all the gifts we gave him and it lifted his spirits. The books and notes we sent were perfect since he had gone deaf. She actually used some of the books to help train him on how to use sign language.
I just wanted to thank everyone who took part in this. We made a difference.
