I can't believe it has taken me so long to get this photo to you. We had so much fun telling the team in Kantolomba about Keenan's fundraising efforts. They were SO touched! They wanted their photo taken with his book and the article.

On Monday and Tuesday, Keenan's brothers and father had Jill shear their heads with a #1 shaver, so Keenan wouldn't have to be the only baldy in the family.

Keenan Dietiker undergoes brain surgery

posted ‎‎Jul 30, 2008 7:16 AM‎‎ by Eric Dietiker

On Friday July 25, Keenan had surgery to reduce his seizures. The most limiting and dangerous of his seizures are his "drop" seizures, which cause him to fall to the ground with no chance to protect himself. The surgery has about a 70% success rate, and we're hoping Keenan is one of the 7 out of 10 who has a benefit from this surgery.

Keenan came home from the hospital on Monday, an amazing recovery - brain surgery Friday, home by Monday. He is continuing to recover at home, and everything seems very positive as this is written.
