We have so much going on right now, and we can’t even begin to tell you everything that’s been happening, but we can give you a few quick items. For starters, Maggi is doing very well!  She’s healthy and happy!  This is the longest she has been wuithout being sick!!  She’s been having her hospital homebound teachers come every week, and she LOVES it!! We’ll be seeing the orthopedic surgeon soon to see when Maggi’s next surgery might be.

Surgery & Sickness

June 10, 2011, Maggi had yet another VEPTR II lengthening.  Everything went well, and Maggi came home the same day.  We were a little worried for a few days because the incision site looked really rough and purple!  After a visit back to Dr. Devito’s office, he told us that the purple roughness was a new kind of skin glue he had used over the incision.  So our minds were set at ease. Maggi also ran a fever for about 3 1/2 weeks.  We were worried about that, too, but were told that it was “just a bug”… but we monitored her temperature almost hourly to make sure it never got too high.  Not fun to do, but necessary.  She was given meds when needed to keep her fever from going too high, and luckily it never got over 101.  So we were all lucky there. Maggi’s doing very well now, eating like a horse again… playing like usual! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers… and stay tuned… the NEW mower raffle information will be coming at you soon!! Much love to all! Donna & Patrick

And the winner is……

Rebekah Latimer! Congratulations to Rebekah for being the lucky winner of the mower!!  We drew her ticket at 3:00pm on Sunday, July 3rd. After Patrick contacted the winner, we found out she was 8 years old, and her father had actually bought the tickets. They told us that they had prayed about the raffle and had decided that they would donate the mower back to us to raffle again!  What a blessing!  We have experienced many forms of generosity and kindness, but this was totally unexpected! We’d like to thank The Latimer Family for being so generous… thanks to everyone who helped sell tickets – without you, the raffle would have been MUCH more difficult for us… thanks to everyone who bought tickets – you guys will have another chance to win this mower soon!! Stay tuned!  Our next fundraiser is right around the corner!!!
