Brennen ate 8 ounces of food for lunch today! Amazing!! His meal consisted of: 3 oz of peaches,
2 oz of turkey, 2 oz of sweet potatoes, and 1 oz of green beans.
I was talking with Nurse Barbara today about how good he ate and she said jokingly, "He's cured!". In a way I feel like that too. He has come along way from where we started. He still has a ways to go before we transition to solid foods, but Wow!
Next week, at this time we will be checking out of the Ronald Mcdonald House; Our home away from home. I was thinking about all of the people we have met during our stay. We have met families from Illinois, Georgia, California, Marlyand and Kuwait.
When you go through an experience like this, you pay alot more attention to the little donation boxes in Mcdonald's for the Ronald Mcdonald House Charities. It really makes a huge difference to be able to stay in this house and have your meals provided and just have a comfortable place to land.
Tim and Sophia are coming up to visit for our last Wednesday visit! We're almost done!!

Well said.
ReplyDeleteThey have sponsors for items around the RMH (laundry detergent, milk, etc.) and each room has a sponsor that makes up the difference between what RMH charges ($20 a day) versus what it ACTUALLY costs.
Nevermind the volunteers who work there and the groups that provide meals & activities for the kids and their family.
If you ever want your heart broken and filled in the same day, volunteer some time at this wonderful place.
Chrissy and I have talked about continuing to be involved in some capacity with the RMH after we're done. If nothing else, they'll be getting a lot of our loose change.
