So Much Support For Madi

   Wow, time is flying by quickly.  I feel like I am in a whirlwind getting ready for Madi's lengthening.  I am just checking things off the list one by one.  We are happy to announce that we have our first fundraising event planned for Madi thanks to our amazing friends at Saints Pub +Patio in Beaverdale.  We have a fun night planned with a silent auction and raffles, karaoke, and  t-shirts and bracelets for sale.  It will be family oriented and there will be activities for the kids.  If you would like to participate the event is at Saints on Friday April 26th from 6-9pm.  We have already had so many generous donations for our silent auction/raffle and we are working on accruing many more.  Thank you to all who have donated and who continue to spread the word for Madi.  All of your help has truly helped to take some stress away from us while we are planning this long ordeal and will continue to allow us to focus on what is most important, taking care of Madi and our family. 
    If any of you  have items/services to donate for the silent auction/raffle, please message me on the blog. 

   As far as Madi goes, she is as carefree as ever.  Just the way I want her to be right now.  There are so many times that I just stand by and watch her and revel in her spirit and strength.  She is just so amazing!  I have been thinking about having some photographs taken of her before we go. I just want to have a memory of what she looks like right now, with her shorter leg and all because to me she is perfect and if  I thought for a second that this condition would not affect her life in the future, I would never have this surgery done. I love her leg the way it is, it is my Madi.  But I know in my heart that this surgery will make her life better in the long run and will make it so that one day she won't have to deal with prosthetics and shoe lifts, pain or trying to find shoes that work.  Madi has not been wanting to wear her shoe with the lift and the brace lately.  She wants to wear "cute" shoes.  Shoe's that are dressy or sparkly or the cool boots that are now in style.  So I will be thrilled when she can finally wear some of them all the time. 

  Last but not least, we want to thank everyone who has helped and are helping right now.  Whether its sharing this blog or our fundraising page with your facebook friends, donating money, donating for auction/raffle, contacting companies for donations, organizing events, asking what you can do to help or just sending your prayers.  We are eternally grateful!  We are feeling so much love and support right now and all of this will help us get to our goal...to get both Madi's feet on the ground!!
