The family of the baseball kid just posted this thru the baseball page..
I had tears in my eyes the entire time.
Update on Andrew...
I must say that today was an emotional day for my family. With the help of many people, my son Andrew was able to once again walk through this door. (His home door) It was first due to God and all his grace who has delivered us a lifetime full of blessings. It is due to the most skillful, knowledgeable and dedicated group of medical professionals who gave him treatment all throughout this process. It is due to all the baseball community, teams, players, teammates and people we have never meet who reached out with countless thoughts and prayers. People who just wanted to see this little boy play again the game that he loves. It is due to my firefighter brotherhood who once again put others before themselves and continue to give everything to anybody. It is due to our friends and family who continue to see us through these tough times. They are our strength when we are weak and are our comfort when we are sad. Thanks for being there for us unconditionally. It is due to my amazing wife Karen. From the first call to go to the emergency room,the ride in the helicopter or just sitting countless hours with Andrew, you remained our rock. You kept us calm, you gave us direction and you steered us toward hope. For all this and for everything you do, I love you. It is due to two amazing kids, Jordan and Sarah. It's going to be a long road ahead but we know you'll be side by side with your brother. Continue to inspire him, push him and encourage him when he is feeling down.
It is due to a little boy who wears #14 in honor of his dad. A little boy who lights up the day with a flash of a smile. A boy who gives anything to play the game of baseball. The kid who wants to be your friend, the kid who wants to be your teammate, the kid who wants to be all he can be. Today, you are my hero. Today you showed the world just how strong a little boy can be. You looked your teary eyed dad in the face and said, "dad, I'm ok". You have brought hope, joy and love to so many people with your fight, determination and desire. You have made us so proud, and you have made the world a little bit better. We have a long journey ahead but you have the home team behind you. You have the community pulling for you. Andrew, we love you so much son and we are gonna help you get , One Step Closer! #14
