On June 12, 2007 our third beautiful child Henry Theodore Haag was born. Soon after he turned 2 we learned that he had a Neurofibromatosis (NF). NF is the term for a set of distinct genetic disorders characterized by their tendencies to cause multiple, benign (non-cancerous) tumors to grow on nerves. Henry is currently undergoing Chemotherapy for a brain tumor we discovered in February of 2011.

May 2009
Right before Henry's second birthday he still could not walk on his own. We made an appointment with our pediatrician and during the examination we were made aware of some small spots on his stomach and back. They are called cafe au lait spots. The doctor told us that these spots were typical with children that have Neurofibromatosis (NF). We made an appointment at St. Mary's hospital in Grand Junction for an MRI. The MRI confirmed that Henry indeed had NF.
