My neice's son, my great nephew, will have brain surgery tomorrow. Cooper is 2 and has a cavernous angioma ( a vascular malformation) in his brain. He was born with it but didn't know he had it until Dec 08 when he had a seizure and became paralyzed on his right side, the angioma was bleeding. The paralysis went away, thank God, but the angioma must be removed. He will have the surgery at Boston Children's Hospital. Please keep Cooper and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

He has been on my list since he was first diagnosed. I will say some extra special ones tomorrow. Please keep us posted on his progress.

Pat,
It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
