It’s no secret that Molly is the most important person in our life. We have devoted every spare second and every ounce of energy towards her health and well being. It’s also no secret how much Boston Children’s Hospital means to us for good reason.
One day back in May 2010 Jay and I were on our way to the cafeteria
at Children’s and we saw advertisements on the floor for the NStar Walk
benefitting Boston Children’s Hospital. At the time we had no idea what it was
and we honestly didn’t care at the time because we had so much going on with
Molly. But once we realized what it was we said if she ever made it home we
would do the walk. In June 2012 we
registered for our first NStar walk and were able to raise $4500 because of the
generosity of so many people that love her.
Last year was our second year. We had a fantastic group of
people that worked so hard to help us give back. And with it we were able to
raise $6500!!!!!!!! To say we were excited is an understatement. We had such a
great day. So many memories were made and that’s what the majority of our life
is all about.
We have registered once again and on June 8, 2014 we will be
participating in the walk. It’s one of our favorite days of the year. We are
hoping to have most of our team back again this year and then some. So if you
are interested in walking with us we would love to have you! If you would like
to help us raise money but you can’t make the walk you can become a virtual
walker. I’m so proud of all of our friends and family that have helped us raise
money for Children’s. It’s not something they have to do but they do it because
they love us and our family. I’m also proud of everyone that has ever made a
donation to Children’s for whatever reason! We are so grateful to all of you!
If you would like to help us exceed our goal by making a
donation you can do so by clicking on the link. Just remember that no donation
is too small and every amount is greatly appreciated!
We are also going up to another big appointment. Molly has a
cardiology and EP appointment on Tuesday. She will be seen in Boston by
cardiology for an echo & EKG. She will then be seen by EP so we can discuss
the long term plan for her pacemaker. Her cardiology wants to find out if we
are going to keep it in until the battery dies or if they want to remove. Jay
and I vote to keep it in until the battery runs out. I’ve been stressing about
this appointment like I always too. It has been on my mind since Christmas. I
have no reason to be nervous really because her echo is always unchanged but I’m
just waiting for the time that he tells us it has gotten worse. She looks
fantastic and there aren’t any outward signs that it should be different but I
just want to put the entire day behind us. I feel like I can’t make any plans
until this appointment is over. I will update it once it’s over and I can
hopefully breathe a sigh of relief!
I hope everyone is staying warm this winter!
