What a GREAT Day!

Callista's Second Annual Benefit was a huge success! We had a great turn out and raised an awesome amount of funds. We've got two walks/runs we will be doing soon so our team is set. Plus, don't forget to check out Socks 4 Surgery, Gracie's Gowns, and Team Iron Aiden on facebook, we will be supporting these organizations by sponsoring child gifts. We also will start the planning stages of home renovations for Callista. Since our home is two story, it's not conducive to her future wheelchair. An additional bathroom with a wheelchair accessible shower and sink as well as remodeling the room attached to the garage are in the works! Our goal is to make our home work for our daughter and to encourage her independence as much as possible. Anything she can do for herself is what we strive for!

I cannot thank our supporters enough for all of the hard work that went into making the benefit a success. Those who donated items, money, time, and prayers were an integral part of why this fundraiser worked out so well! Everyone who came said the food was delicious and they had a lot of fun. There were so many auction items and fantastic prizes to give away. We could not have asked for a better day. I hope to post pictures from our "photo booth" to her facebook group soon.

Thursday is a neurosurgery check up to make sure she is healing properly and to get cleared for therapy. There was a surprise call today from feeding clinic and they had a cancellation so we will be seeing them on Thursday also!
