It's amazing the support we have received throughout this process of Andrew's illness, that we would like to turn the focus on someone else who is in our thoughts every day ... as we are kindly reminded by them that we are in theirs. Ishmael Conklin is the adopted, one year old son of my friend Stephanie (Harrison) and Mark Conklin. Ish was born without fibulas in his legs and as a result has unstabilized ankles. The Conklin's have spent countless and tireless hours working to find a doctor to repair their beautiful Ish. This week they travel to Cleveland Clinic to meet with an orthopaedic specialist who may be able to help Ish.
In our time of need, we ask you to remember Stephanie, Mark, Ish and their 2 other sons Toby and Eli in your thoughts and prayers this week. Even in their own time of uncertainty, Stephanie always takes time to read our blog, send positive thoughts and prayers, as well as asking her husband Mark's parish to pray for Andrew on a weekly basis. Though Stephanie and I have not kept in touch since our time at Ben Franklin Jr. High, we have reconnected recently to fight for causes near and dear to our hearts, our loved ones.
Check our the Conklin's blog and leave loving thoughts and wishes for Ish and the entire Conklin family.
