Mason, one year old
Mason is still in Fort Worth, Texas, just starting the bone marrow transplant process (to help eliminate health problems caused by the Waikott-Aldrich Syndrome).  If all goes well, the transplant will take place on February 9th. Laura's cousin, Carol, has done an excellant job keeping folks updated through a CAREPAGE (www.carepages.com for MasonFernando). Your continued thoughts and prayers are most greatly appreciated.
There's a link to a blog for Mason on the homepage.
