What have you done for me lately?

Looking back at the blog a few weeks ago, I had to laugh at myself because there was a week when Andrew was a newborn that I tried to make the title to each day's post a song title or line with the day of the week in it. That was one of the good weeks, we loved when Andrew was stable enough that we actually go bored hanging around his hospital room.
After Andrew's cardiology appointment earlier this month (which went great) we headed over to visit the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) at Arnold Palmer - which Steve refers to as Andrew's first home. Above is a picture I took because I wanted to point out what Children's Miracle Network (CMN) has done for us lately: a $1.2 million makeover of Andrew's first home! It was an exciting visit because many of the nurses & doctor that took care of Andrew were actually working that day. There is such a special place in our hearts for these people who fought right along side Andrew with everything they had, what more could a parent ask for? I almost teared up when Andrew leaned right over for the intensivist doctor to hold him. Sure he needed to be saved from all the women, but I still think they are bonded for life : )
So here's the lead in: I've mentioned before that we are participating in the CMN Torch Relay coming up November 13th. We're excited to support this organization because it is plain how this support directly benefits Miracle kids like our Andrew. At the event Andrew & I will be sharing his story right before the 5K kickoff. If you're local, we'd love to have you join our Miracle Heart team!!! (Follow the Torch Relay link to the left.) Sure the financial support is great, but I think the moral support means even more.
