* Thank You from the bottom of our Hearts *

Where to begin with today's blog? I am completely overwhelmed with gratitude for each of you who have supported Madelyn & our entire family throughout her journey from ICU to home recovery.

To say that the pancake feed was a success is the understatement of the year!
A very heartfelt thank you to the Pickering and Cusick Families for taking the idea of helping to a whole new level! You not only donated many hours our of your time, time that could be spend with your family, to help our family. You are incredible individuals with wonderful, caring, generous hearts and spirits. Thank you!

Thank you to O'Dohtery's & Mike Cusick for donating all of the supplies, food, and your precious time.

We cannot say enough positive things for the guys at Something Worth Doing website.
Thank you for your time and energy involved with getting Maddy's page launched and managed. It was awesome for people in San Francisco to have the opportunity to donate via your site. Thank you Tyler & your entire staff.

A special note of thanks goes out to the Mayor of Spokane for showing up and spending time at the pancake feed. What an lovely act of kindness. Thank you.

I would like to personally thank each of you on behalf of our entire family. I know that Kara & Bob were so overwhelmed with your generosity every time we talked and I too am inspired by each of you who, even in this economy, you dug deep in your pockets and donated to an amazing kid, Madelyn Marie. Thank you hardly seems enough and doesn't begin to scratch the surface of our feeling of gratitude that we hold in our hearts for you.

Thank you, each of you who continued to support Madelyn through your generous contributions and by keeping her in your thoughts and prayers. Maddy still has a journey ahead of her, but the road is paved with love from each of you.
