I'm glad to hear he is on the road to recovery, and with minimal long lasting effects hopefully. Kids are a blessing and a curse, I didn't know I could be affected by another person this much until I had children. I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone on here when I say we will do anything for our kids. In the mean time, build the hell out of that Ex.

so with a 3 day weekend and some extra cash I decided to do the headlights. Wasn't as bad as I expected and turned out great! I switched all exterior lights to LED bulbs including the headlights and so far I like them!

Lgreg1989, It's amazing what our little ones can endure and recover from. My first son spent 12 days on ECMO and doctors told us he'd live life as a vegetable. 20 years later he has his High School diploma and is a contributing member of the work force. He has and probably always will have some short term memory issues, but he knows his limitations and compensates for this. I hope and pray for great things for your son as like my son, I feel God has something special planned for him!

thank you so much! So happy to hear your son is doing so well! yes I feel Liam has a purpose as well! His story has already went all over the world and we get messages on his page all the time from people going through similar situations and use Liam's story as hope. It is truly amazing to me. His fb page is "prayers for superman Liam". The nickname was before it all but definitely fits him lol

4inch exhaust is on and sounding great!!! Wasn't too bad of an install. Would've been better if I didn't come down with the stomach bug before I did it!
