Stephen is my wonderful grandson. He was 1 pound & 14 ounces when he was born 3 months early. His intestines ruptured in two places and he had severe brain bleeds during the Life Flight to the children’s hospital.
He ended up with Cerebral Palsy, partially paralyzed on his left side. He is a fighter and survivor and finally learned to walk when he was 3 years old.
Although he has difficulty walking, he completed the Hiking Merit Badge:
5 hikes of 10 miles each and one hike of 20 miles. The long hike took him 11 hours or more.
Stephen collected over 500 toys for the Shriner’s Hospital for his Eagle Scout project. He wanted to serve the hospital because he was so grateful that they did surgery twice on his legs so he could continue to walk.
I am very proud of him! He asked me to fly to South Carolina to speak at his Eagle Scout Court of Honor, so I am GOING!
