	H.R. No. 655



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Nine-year-old Hank Wolgamott of Sugar Land is an
	inspiring young Texan who has bravely faced the many challenges of
	living with Hemophilia A; and
	WHEREAS, When he was nine months old, Hank was diagnosed with
	a severe form of the disease, which interferes with the body's
	ability to create blood clots; because of his condition, Hank is at
	risk of developing serious bleeding from falls and other accidents;
	and
	WHEREAS, Hank has made frequent trips to the hospital and
	received thousands of injections, and when he was just a year old,
	he underwent a surgery to place a port in his chest so that his body
	would better tolerate the treatments; along the way, the young boy
	has coped with a demanding regimen of home care that has required
	him to wake up early and perform a series of exercises before
	receiving the intravenous medication he needs to manage his
	disease; and
	WHEREAS, Hank is supported by a devoted family that includes
	his parents, Amanda and Jesse Wolgamott, and his brother, Jack; he
	has remained strong while dealing with difficult circumstances, and
	he and his family have worked to advocate for state and federal
	legislation and issues in behalf of Americans with bleeding
	disorders; and
	WHEREAS, Hank Wolgamott has persevered through a great deal
	of adversity in his young life, and there is no doubt that his
	remarkable spirit and determination will continue to serve him
	well; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
	Legislature hereby honor Hank Wolgamott for the courage and
	resilience he has demonstrated while living with Hemophilia A and
	extend to him and his family sincere best wishes for the future;
	and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Hank Wolgamott and the Wolgamott family as an
	expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.

	Jetton
