Wonderful News!

 We awoke to a very generous donation to our FSP this morning of $7500! This is so exiting! The donor(s) is anonymous. But I wish that I could tell them in person how grateful we are and give them a HUGE HUG!!! We were getting so scared. This was the most amazing thing that could happen, one week before we leave. God is GREAT!

 We also have several advocates rallying for us through social media, and we want those people also to know how much we appreciate you! It truly makes me so "warm and fuzzy" inside to know how many people love our little boy. Every single one of you that has advocated for our son are so very special to us. Thank you all so much!

Those advocates have generated another $155 dollars just since I saw the FSP earlier today! Just to give you an idea of how fast money is being raised: I left the house at 11 for Tage's doctor appointment, dropped off his prescriptions, took him to the Church's pumpkin patch as a get well present :), picked up prescriptions, came home and it jumped that quickly!

We are also still selling the DISCOUNT CARDS and our "team" has also managed to get more of those sold than we have :)

 One week from today we will be boarding a plane, literally! It is now 2:14. Our flight is at 2:21 next Monday!!! We can not wait!

 In other news, Tage is sick :( We just returned from the doctor. He has an ear infection and his asthma is giving him trouble. He should be back in school Wednesday.

We Urgently need help!

We leave in only 1 week & still need to raise $10,000! Please we need your help. You can help us by Saving money! I am not kidding. We are selling discount cards for $20. They are good nationwide at over $300,000 locations! There is also a bonus $25 Restaurant.com gift certificate. Please share this fundraiser. You can pay on the company website or you can donate to our FSP but please be sure to email me your address so that I can email you a card. I am getting so nervous that we will have to delay. If we delay, we would be the first RR family ever to delay due to lack of funds. Also, our baby would likely be transferred to an adult mental institution! WE WILL NOT LET THIS HAPPEN! 


I also have some other news. Today I chatted with someone who met my Silas earlier this year!!! The good news is he is a happy little boy, responsive when spoken to, drinks from a bottle, and can play in a walker! Just think how he will progress with therapy! Some not so good news is his size. I was shocked! She guesses he is fitting in 18 month clothing, 24 month at the most :( He will be 5 next month and fits in the same size as my 1 year old. This makes me so sad. It also makes me more determined to raise the money I need to get my little boy home. Please say you will help!
