All about my son, Nathan!

This home page is dedicated to my son, Nathan, and all he means to me. By using Dreamweaver, I will create this page and various links to different projects.

I have chosen to make the page background yellow and the text red because those are his two favorite colors. He like red and yellow because the Disney character "Lightning McQueen" is red and yellow.

The images above are pictures taken every year at Christmas time since he was born in December 2004. The progression shows how quickly he has grown.

Nathan has a rare condition called "Eagle-Barrett Syndrome" (Prune Belly). He was born missing some of his abdominal muscles, undecendended testicles, and an abnormal urninary tract. This condition occurs in 1 in 40,000 live births in the U.S.

Nathan currently has urinary tract infections (UTI) that usually require hospitalization to prevent kidney damage. These UTI's are very common for children with his condition. He also attends physical therapy to help him develop the adominal muscles he does have.

This website will help you become familiar with Prune Belly and what it means to children like my son.
