As we were watching the Super Bowl this year, we were reminded of our memory of the Super Bowl last year - cheering on the Saints at Children's Hospital. Even though staying in the hospital for 8 nights with Chandler was scary, we always knew we'd be going home soon and we'd have our healthy girl back. Being at the hospital made me realize how lucky we are to have such healthy kids but also how lucky we are to have this amazing hospital just down the street that does amazing things for kids everyday! While we were there they had so many activities for kids - crafts, video games, you name it! We were able to walk out those doors and hopefully never have to return, but many of those patients and families don't get to say that.
Each year Alice 105.9 (local radio station) does a radiothon for the Children's Hospital Miracle Network, and although we've been donating for years, being there and witnessing the amazing things they do made us grateful to be giving. As I listened to the radiothon today it made me think about our experience. Here's a link to the website and their touching stories they share:
