I have been overwhelmed by the responses I’ve been getting since Cristian’s billboard went up on the West Side Highway. I’ve gotten such positive feedback from friends, family and even strangers.

As I was driving into work yesterday, I looked up and saw Cristian’s billboard on the West Side Highway. I couldn’t believe how amazing it looked.

I’m very excited. Ever since I started Cristian’s foundation, I dreamed of having my son and his cause appear on a giant billboard on the West Side Highway.

As we enter 2010, I am determined to put an even greater stamp on the world through both Cristian’s foundation and the strength that God has given me since his passing.

I am starting this journal 11 months since Cristian passed away on January 25, 2009, and will continue as I did while Cristian was sick. So much has happened in that time. We had a beautiful mass celebrating Cristian’s life.

Cristian is getting physical and occupational therapy mon thru fridays. We are hoping Cristian can regain use of his body. He sometimes goes to his rehab on a special wheelchair/ carriage/ stroller that is designed for kids like him.

Cristian Rivera born 9/13/02 and passed away in the loving arms of Mommy and Daddy at around 6am today. Cristian’s blood pressure dropped so much, his fever was so high and his heart gave up.
January 24th 2009-Evening
Cristian’s heart rate is very high at 195-217. Normal is 90. Cristian’s fever is 103-104. We are putting ice packs on him. Cristian is on the full Vent. Cristian has gotten a lot of visitors.
January 24th 2009-Morning
I slept in the bed with Cristian last night and noticed that he was breathing on top of the vent. Cristian is fighting, he truly is. I believe Cristian knows I am here so I spoke with Cristian and Prayed with him.
January 23rd 2009-Evening
The Vent is pretty much doing all the breathing for Cristian. Cristian had to get a blood transfusion. Many friends and relatives came from all over to show support.
