Jaxon was diagnosed with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) 5 days after his second birthday (Feb 2011). His mother told me that Jaxon is the seventh (7th) child in Canada to be diagnosed with this rare disease. I am his great-aunt Louise and I come up with the idea of this blog to keep people informed, and to use my passion for stitching to raise money for the FOP organizations.

August 2015
I had promised to write more and keep everyone up to date. Well, I obviously didn't manage that and I do apologize. Since my last posting, I did manage to get to Branson, Missouri for another wonderful retreat organized by Cecilia's Samplers. My brother and his wife came down to Dad-sit while I was away. Dad is doing remarkably well considering everything he went through in January. As for myself, well..... I strained my right rotator cuff 3 months ago. Since then I've been going for physiotherapy 3 times a week and are you ready for this I wasn't allowed to cross stitch! Trust me, I really haven't been in shape to do any stitching, I have been on anti-inflammatory medication as well as pain killers. To give you an example, I sneezed the other night...not a quiet little sneeze but a big full body sneeze, the type of sneeze where every single muscle in your body clenches before releasing! I was in so much pain that an hour later I had to take something for the pain. So in a nutshell between all the running around I do for Dad and this shoulder problem, I really haven't done anything. So until the next time, I thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day. Hugs, Louise
