This post is not about Riley or our family. It's about a family who is trying to raise money for LeBonheur Children's Hospital. My friend and her family were nominated to be Miracle Maker Family of the Year. The hospital chooses a few families each year to help raise money.
This is very important to them because their son/grandson has been in and out of LeBonheur for the past 3 years. I'll give you a quick run-down of his story...
He had a stroke when he was 2 years old due to a clump of bacteria that was on one of his heart valve and broke off traveling straight to his brain. His brain then began to swell so they had to remove a piece of his skull. He has had multiple surgeries trying to put his skull back in but because of his already weak immune system it got infected every time. He now has a prosthetic piece in place of it, which was just put in this past December. He also had to have surgery on his heart to remove the bacteria. He is now a kindergartener and doing fine thanks to his doctors and nurses at LeBonheur.
So if you would like to help out and donate, I am taking up money for them. Even if it's just a dollar...every little bit helps!!
Thanks,
Britney
