I got this from a bulletin on my son's myspace this morning. It tells the name for what Nate has been diagnosed with along with the congestive heart failure. I never could remember the whole name. That's all I have for now, a few of you had asked. Have a great day, God Bless

Body: Hey, guys.

For those of you who don't know, my 6-year-old son, Nathan, is currently hospitalized on the Cardiatric ICU floor of Texas Children's Hospital in Houston.

He has been diagnosed with Dilated Cardio-Myopathy, which essentially means that his heart doesn't work well. He has been treated around the clock for nearly three weeks, and he has good days and bad days,. He has been put on the transplant list in case his condition begins to worsen or doesn't get better soon.

Most of my Myspace friends are comic artists, either independent or professional. I have a favor to ask anyone of you who have a little bit of free time on your hands.

Nathan has Asperger's Syndrome, a form of high-functioning autism. One of the main traits of Aspies (people with AS) is that they obsess over certain things almsot to the point of ridiculousness. Nathan's obsession is, and has been since before he could speak, Spiderman.

If anyone would like draw a quick Spider-Man sketch and personalize it to Nathan, I can't tell you how excited he would get. Even if it's on notebook paper, he would freak. He's really tired of being in the hospital, and it gets to him sometimes.

If any of you are interested, you can send me a scan at powguero00@yahoo.com.

We have access to a computer in the hospital, so I can print any attachments up and give them to him directly.

Thanks, and I'll keep you all updated of his condition.
