JANUARY 24, 2007 -- Hawk on TV channel 4 for Make a Wish...On Thursday, January 18, 2007, Hawk on was the More at Midday Show on TV Channel 4 with Holly Thompson. For the period 1/15-2/1/07, the TV show was hosting Make-A-Wish ("MAW") recipients to tell about their trips. Lindy was with Hawk and told of the wonderful experiences the family had at Disney World as a result of MAW. There was a TV monitor for Holly to be able to see what was being shown, i.e. pictures, during the show. Hawk could see the monitor. He was more interested in looking at the monitor and seeing himself on TV instead of listening to Holly's questions and talking to her. He still did a wonderful job.

MEDICAL UPDATE: Hawk's condition has deteriorated some. His right eye is pulling to the center. He is turning and cocking his head slightly to the left to compensate. He has complained some with headaches and his energy level is down some. This week there has been a marked change in his left leg dragging more when he walks.

The Lord blessed us with a wonderful holiday season. Hawk and Skyla had a lot of Christmas activities enjoying all the gifts and family visits. They had 5 different major family events between the Smith, Taylor and McPeak families. This was a real change from the 2005 Christmas season when he was taking radition treatments and hardly wanted to get off the couch.

We continue to thank you for your prayers and words of support. We truly believe that Hawk's current condition is so good because of the Lord hearing your prayers. The Lord continues to bless our family.
