During my week stay at the hospital with my son Shayne....I sat there feeling so helpless, watching him, looking at me with his big sad eyes, almost asking me to make it go away. While he slept the majority of the time I wanted to draw him in one of his many ways he makes me smile. This is Shayne after watching Wizard of Oz. I am glad we are back home....and that he is feeling better and almost back to his normal creative and energetic self.
