Joeys Story

Joey Was born early one morning in March 1987. My first Born. We were So thrilled! We Brought My Beautiful son Home So Excited on the Birth of our First child! We Were now a family. Me Only 23 My Husband only 20, we had high hopes for our son. What would he accomplish in Life? Greatness we Believed of course! ,Doctor, lawyer? Maybe even President? Sky was the Limit for our Son!
Soon we noticed weird things with him. Something was Not right with our Son. He had epilepsy, we later found out, when he was 12 weeks old. Ok no biggie he could still be All We had dreamed of.
Then the Bombshell at 5 months. We noticed White spot in his eyes, and Wondered if he could see well. His peditrician sent him to a specialist Asap. The news Was Bad. Our son had Little chance of survival. He had Cancer in the retna of both eyes. A Condition called Retno Blastoma. Both his eyes Needed to be Surgicly removed ASAP. So this was done 2 Days later. I was So Scared to loose my precious son!
Well He Made it through the surgery and the Cancer aginst All the odds.
We Soon knew God Had Blessed us with an Angel. Ok So maybe not Doctor, lawyer or President, But maybe even better! Joey Did not progress much Developmentally over the next few years. Many More Problems were diagnosed. Cerebral palsy, Mental disability were added to his list of Disabilities. At 2 years old he could Not walk Talk or even sit up. On A hot day in September 1989 I gave Birth to A Second child a Girl. Red headed Fire ball! Our Angel Joey now Had a Sister. she Too knew Her Brother was an angel. As A Family we helped Joey reach small ( Big To Us) Goals. The doctors were unsure if he would ever Progress much more. We DID NOT Except that! We kept trying to make Joey ALL he could be! He Soon was able to feed himself and Loved Life, He Was So Happy 24/7! In 2004 Joey moved to Asheville NC to a group home where we felt he could be cared for better. He was 17 years old 100 lbs and could not walk still. Was A Great move for him. He Loved the home, although We missed him so much we knew it was best for him.
One evening in June I got the call Joey was real sick. He was in the ER. that morning I arrived in Asheville to find him in the ICU ward at Missions hospital, on life support. Boy how Life shifts on Ya. My Angel Boy was Hooked to So many Things. DNR Orders, Slim chances were the Topic of Discussion from the Doctors. I Could NOT give up on my Son who was Now 21. He Had beaten the Odds so Far. After 19 days on life support, We made our decision. We could Not make him suffer any longer. He went off life support, and Went to heaven 2 days later. He is with God now. Joey Brought out the Good in ALL that knew him. His Only Goal in Life was to Love and Be Loved! We can ALL Learn from Joeys Life. A Boy who Could Not Talk could Move So many!
So We are thrilled at what our son Accomplished in his short life. Nope Not Doctor, lawyer or President, But An Angel who Made A difference for All who knew him. Joey, Judged Nobody, Loved Unconditionally,
Knew not hate, or Bieng betrayed. He could do So little, But loved Life So much!

    I was just passing through various profiles and happened upon yours. I am so very touched by the story of your Angel Joey, and wanted to thank you for sharing your inspiring story with the world. Everyone should have been so blessed to know your son, and every person could only wish to have had as much love and support as you all shared and gave. Blessings to you all.

    The best of luck to you in quitting the smoking addiction. I know how hard it is, having done it twice in my life. I've got to go for a 3rd and final quit one of these days for health reasons above all and for the ridiculous amount it now costs, even for a 1/2 pack per day habit.
