Today we went to Fairy Tale Town with our Hearts of Hope support group and had a great time! We had 16 families (I think), which is the largest turnout we've had so far. Fairy Tale Town donated the passes to our group and gave us a discount on the lunches that HOH provided for everyone. The kids had lots of fun playing, climbing and sliding. And there was media coverage which is great for getting the word out to other families.
Here is a link to my interview with KFBK, a local news radio station. I actually haven't heard it yet, but I hear it was a good piece.
There was also a short story on the Channel 10 news at 5:00.
The most exciting part for me was watching Drew run around and climb the stairs by himself, without having to stop because he was breathing so heavy. This is still new and amazing to me since his last surgery. He went up the Owl slide 8 times in a row without getting tired! And he didn't spend any time in the stroller the whole time we were there. I am so grateful that his surgery was such a success!

What a great video clip! I loved hearing Drew's little voice saying that he was brave because he had heart surgery! So sweet! I am so glad that you have this support group.
Man I wish I could have made it! I am so upset we missed it! This morning I found out that I indeed had to report for Jury duty:( & lucky me I was selected as a juror in the trial:(
I hope the families get together again soon because I am so anxious to meet all of the little ones!
This is so precious and I love all the "first time" moments you're experiencing with Drew! It's so heart-warming to see his strength continue to grow, and yours too!
Miss you -- hope we can get together soon.
Love, Lori

I asked Carl and the News 10 clip with you and Gina talking was one before the news actually aired, then it sounds like they didn't show it. Oh well, you all were excellent!
