    A MESSAGE FROM YOUR POTENTATE ILLUSTRIOUS SIR

    Dear Nobles,

    I want to say how thankful I am to every-

    one for helping to make this year-end on

    such a positive note. We had two highly

    successful fundraisers bringing in an excess

    of $80,000 profit to the Shrine. It took a lot of

    work and fellowship and it was a joy to see

    our brothers do what they do best. Thank

    you again for your participation and hard

    work.

    I also want to thank the Nobles and UCO’s

    for personally giving donations from their

    hearts to help the Shrine in our time of need.

    Hadi’s mission is important to all of us, and

    I ask all those who are members or affili-

    ates of the building and organization, if you

    haven’t had the time or means to donate to

    the temple, please do so at your first oppor-

    tunity. There is still a need and every dollar

    helps.

    Co-vid is here to stay awhile, but I know

    there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

    Unfortunately, it’s still a long journey through

    to the end. With God’s help and the love of

    those around us, we will come through this.

    May God bless you and keep you all safe

    through the upcoming holiday season.

    Yours in Faith,

    Stephen L. Hawes

    2020 Most Amazing Care Anywhere

    Hello, Ms. Hollywood!

    Camille steps into Shriners Hospital for Children - St.

    Louis on the first cooler day leading into fall with her mom,

    Shantay, in tow. Ms. Hollywood has arrived.

    The 3-year-old Evansville, Indiana, girl recently under-

    went the first of what will be three limb-lengthening proce-

    dures before she hits her teen years.

    “When she walks into a room, she doesn’t have to say

    anything because she just has this presence about her,”

    Shantay said. “They like to call her ‘Ms. Hollywood’ here

    because she’ll walk in with these shades on and just sort

    of announce, ‘I’m here!’”

    That Camille is able to walk in powered by her own two

    legs is a testament to the Shriners Hospital physicians,

    nurses and rehabilitation therapist who have cared for the

    girl since she was an infant.

    Camille’s dad, Bryan, said the birth of his daughter was a

    shock. “(Her leg) looked as though it did not have a bone.

    I was numb,” he said. “I couldn’t move.”

    Within Hours, doctors in Evansville told Bryan that Shri-

    ners Hospital could help. Three weeks later, Camille was

    seen at Shriners Hospital for Children - St. Louis by Perry

    Schoenecker, M.D., who treater her first for hip dysplasia.

    “There was a thought that they might have to amputate

    her leg.” Shantay said. “But Dr. Schoenecker had a wait-

    and-see approach.”

    When she was 1, Camille received a lift for her left foot.

    She just took off and we knew nothing was going to stop

    her,” Shantay said while holding Camille, who looked up

    from the movie she was watching - Trolls World Tour - and

    added, “I was crushing it.:

    “Yes, baby. You were crushing it,” Shantay laughed.

    But the following two years have been anything but easy

    for Camille. She was diagnosed with tibial hemimelia, a limb-

    lenght discrepancy. This rare condition affects the larger

    bone in the lower leg, and sometimes, as in Camille’s case,

    the patient might have extra toes.

    Camille had her first limb-lengthening procedure on her

    left leg July 7. As of mid-September, the leg had grown an

    extra inch. She will have two more lengthening procedures.

    By the time she is healed from the final surgery, her leg will

    have grown an extra 6 inches from where it would have been

    if nothing had been done.

    “That’s a long way from amputation,” Shantay Said.

    BY-LAW Changes - Proposal 1

    In the early hours of May 17, 2017, a fire broke out at a

    Michigan motel, the result of an explosion. Brian, his mother

    and brother suffered injuries and were airlifted to a local hos-

    pital. Brian’s wounds were significant, with burns covering

    85% of his body.

    Brian’s father, Robert, recalls being told his son had less

    than a 5% chance of survival. Robert L. Sheridan, M.D., med-

    ical director of the Boston Shriners Hospital burn service,

    learned about Brian and knew that the Boston hospital staff

    could help.

    Robert explained, “Dr. Sheridan jumped into action and got

    us medically flown to Boston. It was all his doing – his network

    and the Shriners network. We were in a bad situation when

    the Shriners called, and that’s how Brian’s life was saved.”

    Members of the Detroit Moslem Shriners are an important

    part of Brian’s network, providing emotional support as well

    as financial assistance for transportation and housing related

    to Brian’s medical care. They fiercely advocate for Brian at

    every turn. Local Detroit Shriners routinely work with staff

    members at the Boston Shriners Hospital to help with travel

    arrangements to and from Boston, and check in often to offer

    assistance.

    In the past three years, Brian has undergone over 200

    procedures and surgeries at the Boston Shriners Hospital,

    including a tracheostomy. Scar tissue impairs his airway and

    this procedure made it easier for Brian to breathe. However,

    without further surgical intervention, there was a possibility

    that Brian’s airway could close completely, taking away his

    ability to speak.

    Brian and Robert returned to Boston in August for a series

    of procedures to open his airway and remove the tracheos-

    tomy tube. This will give Brian more freedom and eliminate

    the painstaking process of cleaning his tube regularly.

    Doctors originally scheduled this surgery in April but had

    to postpone due to statewide restrictions on certain surgical

    procedures implemented because of COVID-19. Robert

    said the family was heartbroken when they got the news.

    “We have been trying to get this done for a very long time;

    it was all set, and we had a date set.”

    The family stays in close contact with Melissa Brown, a

    social worker at the Boston Shriners Hospital who has been

    working with them since Brian’s first day as a patient. “She

    goes above and beyond her job for our family. She’s been

    my rock through all of this,” said Robert.

    Melissa stayed in touch with the family while they waited

    for a new date. “Brian has made such incredible progress

    in just a few years. His resilience and determination are

    impressive, and I am honored to be a part of his care team,”

    said Melissa.

    TEEN WITH BURNS ON 85% OF HIS BODY RECEIVES LIFE-CHANGING CARE AT THE BOSTON SHRINERS HOSPITAL

  • HOT SANDS VOL 95 NO. 12 DECEMBER 2020

    HADISHRINE.ORG | 15

    “Brian approaches all aspects of his treatment with resolve

    and a positive attitude. He always asks insightful questions

    and knows how to advocate effectively for himself. Brian has

    come a long way since 2017, and, as a medical professional,

    it is heartening to see such progress after a significant injury,”

    said Dr. Sheridan.

    It has been a long journey. Shriners Hospitals for Chil-

    dren’s mission is to care for pediatric patients regardless of

    families’ ability to pay. Most of Brian’s surgical care can and

    has occurred at the Boston Shriners Hospital. Brian’s family

    submitted a request to their insurance company for the care

    received outside of the Shriners Hospitals system, which

    was denied. The family appealed, but the insurance provider

    maintained that coverage would only apply if procedures

    were performed in Michigan. Robert was not comfortable with

    this because almost all of Brian’s care had been in Boston at

    Shriners Hospitals for Children.

    Brian and Robert wanted to work with Dr. Sheridan and the

    care team who knew Brian best. Robert estimates that 98% of

    Brian’s care has been through the Boston Shriners Hospital.

    “Shriners has been there for us and has made things as easy

    as possible. There is a level of comfort for Brian and that is

    important,” said Robert.

    When insurance would not cover any of the $150,000 Robert

    would need to pay for the aspects of care that could not occur

    at the Boston Shriners Hospital, he created a GoFundMe

    account. The response was overwhelming. Within days, over

    $150,000 was raised and Brian’s story had attracted national

    media attention. The family also reports that, after additional

    conversations with their insurance provider, some of Brian’s

    treatment is now being covered.

    Brian, 17, is a junior who loves swimming, fishing and all

    sports. His favorite is basketball and he loves the Boston Celt-

    ics. Robert described Brian as an all-around athlete prior to

    the explosion – on the track, basketball and football teams.

    He is an honor roll student with aspirations to work in the

    field of burn care, possibly as a doctor or a social worker.

    Brian has a message for his care team and all of his sup-

    porters. “I would like to thank the entire Shriners community,

    and everyone who came together to make this happen. It’s

    truly amazing what the Shriners organization has done for

    my family and me over the years. I am so grateful!” he said.

    Robert has established the Brian Adams Foundation,

    which will provide resources and connections for children

    with burn injuries. He has also created a Facebook page,

    Recovery4Brian, so people can follow Brian’s story.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!! The members of Hadi Oriental

    Band and their families hope that everyone had a joyous

    fun-filled Holiday considering the circumstances that

    we’ve endured this past year. I’m sure it cut into family

    gatherings, visits, and getaways for everyone. Let’s all

    Pray that this thing comes to an end soon so we can get

    back to normal living.

    The OB elected our new officers for 2021 at our

    November business meeting as they threw me a curve on

    a new slate but here, they are: President Jacob Gentry,

    V.P. Kenneth Grant, Sec. Denis Gentry, Treasurer Terry

    Eades, Director, and Quartermaster Jeremy Hoesli.

    Nobles, we’ve elected a pretty good line here, so how

    about we make an effort this year to support these fine

    officers and our unit.

    Many thanks to our Divan Rep David Bevins for keep-

    ing us all well informed of what is happening within the

    Shrine, as well as what’s been canceled or rescheduled,

    and what events or activities are taking place here at

    Hadi.

    Our annual OB Christmas Party on Dec. 5th has been

    unfortunately canceled by Vice President Jacob Gentry

    due to the pandemic situation in our area. It was a hard

    decision among the members not to have this event, but

    we thought due to the situation surrounding us, it would

    be the best for all concerned, and we sure didn’t want

    anyone to get sick.

    Our Bandsman of the Year was awarded to Gilbert

    “Fuzz” Rohner and all our dedicated Nobles who made

    that extra effort this past year during all this chaos to see

    that we got our business taken care of and worked on our

    booth. Thank you all, much appreciated.

    Nobles, it’s that time of year again to pay your OB dues,

    and I would appreciate it if we could do this in a timely

    manner. I’ll be sending out due notices around the middle

    of January, and my Brothers, I look forward to your

    support once again. It’s been a tough year for all of us

    here at Hadi, so what do you say let’s get this year started

    off on the right foot; we can do this if we set our minds to

    it; what do you say, lets getter done.

    Nobles, since we had to cancel our GLSOBA Jamboree

    last year, yep, you guessed it, I’m the returning President

    again this year, so we’ll be hosting the Jamboree in June,

    and we’re going to need you all to pitch in and help us

    out.

    Remember our sick and shut family and friends with

    health problems, pray that they receive renewed bless-

    ings and strength for a healthy recovery and protection

    from this deadly virus.

    Thank you to our outgoing President Logan Turpin for

    his leadership and to all our supporting members for your

    help during this rough year, but no worries guys, it’s got to

    get better.

    On behalf of Hadi Oriental Band, we wish our families,

    friends, and all Nobility, a safe, happy, healthy, prosper-

    ous New Year.

    Denis K. Gentry Sec.

    Hello Shriners,

    I am Abigail Rahman the new Front Desk/Marketing Spe-

    cialist, however, you can all call me Abi. Many of you have

    already met me during the Hadi Half Pot and Gun Raffle

    events. However, I wanted to officially introduce myself in

    the December’s Hot Sands. I am a recent graduate from

    IUPUI Herron School of Art & Design, where I majored in

    Visual Communication Design with minors in Advertising

    and Art History. Due to this background, I will now be han-

    dling the Marketing/Graphic Design of the Hadi Shrine!

    This month’s magazine is my first Hot Sands that I have

    designed for the Shrine. I want to thank everyone for work-

    ing with me and getting me all of the needed information on

    time. So far, I have had a great time working with everyone

    at the Temple. Being able to work with the Shriners and

    design ads for them has been a great experience. I also

    want to thank everyone for being so inviting and kind to

    me. I especially want to thank Amy for being patient and

    teaching me all the skills I need for this job.

    The Hot Sands Deadline will remain the same as before.

    Article Submission Deadline will be the 20th day of the

    prior month. You can email your Hot Sands articles and

    information to [email protected].

    Thank you all for a great first month here at the Shrine! I look

    forward to working with all the Shriners in the coming months.

    From Abigail Rahman
