Getting Closer!!

So sweet when she sleeps

So first I need to thank the beautiful people for their wonderful support of Alena so far, the Q family, the A family, the P family, the G family, and the K family! We appreciate everyone's support of Alena!!


So we are getting closer to Alena's surgery and to our goal! Our flight leaves late late late on the 10th, we wont get to our hotel until about 11:30 or midnight. Alena has a day or two to relax and get used to the climate (and make sure she didn't get sick on the airplane and yes we probably will look at a redwood or two, ya gotta have some sort of fun before the big day). Then she has a day to tour the hospital on the 13th and the 14th she has pre-op procedures (aka echocardiagram, x-rays of her chest and neck, labs, meeting Dr. Hanley (our surgeon)). They expect that to last most of the day and then Friday the 15th is our big day for the Heart surgery. We don't know what time it will start but I will keep everyone updated on that as well as everything else!


 Our goal is 3000 dollars to raise and we have raised $2,129 which is wonderful but it isn't quite there yet. We also have 52k points in the account (more promised but I'm not counting them till I can see them) to use at the hotel at 20k points per night. The Blog has now had over 1,000 page views which is wonderful!! I have a PayPal donate button located on the side of the page (not on your iPhone you have to go to the full desktop page view), if you would like to donate any amount of money even just 1 dollar would help us tremendously. If each person who has visited this page donated 1 dollar we'd get a lot closer to our goal, and if every person who visited this page blogged or linked or Facebook'd the page then we might actually meet our goal!! I will keep everyone updated on things as they progress, please consider donating 1/4 of your daily coffee to Alena's heart surgery trip (aka $1.00) and lets see how far we can get this.

Remember anything above and beyond our needs in CA is going to go towards one of the local funds for Heart conditions


A friend of ours Amanda has offered to make these cute little pillows for $10 for the first and $8 for any additional with $3 going towards Alena's fund (all of the profits). Here is her short blog post about it .

If your interested in purchasing one you can email Amanda HERE with letter, boy/girl/gender neutral and solid/theme and she will get back to you with fabric options. She expects turn around time to be 5 days for pick up (North Phoenix area)or 7 days to ship. Shipping is $3 per letter.

 

Thank you yet again for everyone's continued support!
