Miracle for Macsen

Home tonight from the amazing fundraiser our friends, family and community put together - our last fundraiser before we leave for Philadelphia. I am truly humbled by the sheer amount of love everyone put into this dinner for Macsen and our family. When I think of our story - our life - that was published in the local newspaper this week I can't help thinking that isn't the whole story, the best story. The most moving part of all this for me is the way our community - people we know and love - and people we have never met - have come together to lift our baby and our family up and  help us with what is to come. That is the real story - that is the story that I will tell my baby when I want to give him strength, when I want him to know how loved he is, when I want him to hold on and fight. I wish I could have bottled up all the love in the room tonight so I could gulp from it in the months to come. Thank you to our Mom's Club, to our friends and family from Gold's, to members of the Grace Place Church, to the Slagles, Adcocks, Andersons, Wades, Masiaks, Braunds, Cooks, Pettis Family and Amy Simmons for your unwavering support and immense generosity of time, resources, spirit, and especially love. Thank you to everyone who came to eat with us and those of who you who donated items for raffle. Your hearts are all so big how can they not be enough to help Macsen's?
