morris code...

















first of if you havent heard i would like to announce.....ITS A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!! morris oliver headley was born 5-5-12 at about 5:25 pm after 41 hours of natural unmedicated labor (ya my wife is tough as nails!) if you are mexican you will celebrate his birthday every year!
secondly i would like to apologize for unanswered phone calls and emails over the last few weeks... it has been a crazy time and i will soon start digging myself out of this hole...
hmmm where to begin.....

the not so great first....thursday we found out threw a routine state screening that morris is galactosemic ... things just didnt seem quite right with him and he was having some health issues and not getting better... the odds of galactosemia are 1 in about 65,000(ya i should play the lottery) he is 1 of 2 babys that will be born in the state of kansas with this metabolic disorder this year....  1 carrier gene from both of us and hes stuck with this... i knew he was in trouble in the first place with headley genes but i really had no idea.... its scary to think had this been 30 years ago he might not have made it.... so chalk one up to modern science and modern medicine ( this is the first time i have ever said this....) and a big thanks to the state of kansas from the bottom of my heart ( this is also the first time i have ever said this) routine pku screening is not available in every state.... tomorrow we see a specialist on this matter....
so now things have appeared to level out and are on the up and up.....lets hope so anyway......

these things i know are true....

my wife is awesome.... she never fails to surprise  me... she is an awesome mother and an amazing person ... how i ever fooled her into marrying me i have no idea....

we have an amazing family that i am so blessed with i hope that everyone on this planet can feel  this love before they die...

god is alive and well and works in amazing ways... you cannot put god in a box do not limit him with your imagination

this kid of mine already knows some of the coolest people on this planet we feel so blessed to have such awesome friends...

being a father is unexplainable... i never thought i would receive such a gift.... he makes me the person i want to be not the person i am...... if i could write  a song about it, it might be this one...



so i am slowly getting around to phone calls and emails etc... i will return to the shop on the 22nd  and if you are wanting to meet my son we are planning to stop by the bike cave open house on the 19th

a few photos....
