We also did take a take a trip to Story Land in North Conway NH in the last spring and also stayed at a hotel with a water park. Nicholas still loved that roller coaster and water log ride. He was all smiles and yelled “again again again”. He loved the water park. It was a little more difficult for Chris and I to get him up to the top of the water slide. We did but had to carry his 58lb body up 4 flights of stairs. They yell of excitement was worth our struggle! It was a fun short weekend vacation which created great memories for all of us!
We also spent some time at Lake Winnipesaukee with his other aunts, uncles and cousins! Being with family is what Nicholas loves best! I can’t believe that Nicholas will be entering into the 3rd grade in the fall! Time Flies!

Heather - I just finished reading the update on Nicholas and the tears will not stop. I keep up-to-date with his progress on FB and can't express enough how brave this little boy is and what a wonderful family he has to support him. My heart breaks for your family but know that many think of you and pray for a cure for this terrible disease. I wish that I knew you personally, only know you from my daughter, so that I could be more support to you and your family. I will keep you all in my prayers. The Patutos
My heart is also breaking for your whole family. It seems like you really cherish the good moments you have with N, and I hope that those continue for as long as possible. Best wishes.
P.S. any way the foundation can accept pay pal donations?

No words can express the saddness we all feel - but grateful at the same time for the family all coming together to support each other. Heather & Chris (and William) you are amazing people who are doing an amazing job. God give us what we are "suppose" to handle. We may not always like it, but there is a reason. Nicholas' reason is you! I love and have you close in my arms always. XXX cousin Nancy!
Hi Heather, I wanted to write and say hello from Australia. I am mum to Matilda, age nearly 5 who was recently diagnosed with Battens. Thank you for your blog which is beautifully written. It inspired me to write about our own journey, such as it is. It sounds like Nicholas is surrounded by an amazing and loving family. He looks just lovely. All the very best to you and your family.
