Monday the 21st we had our HACIENDA GIVES BACK and it was SO awesome to see all of Maddie's supporters. So many co-workers came out, friends, Tyler's co-workers, acquaintances and even people who just heard of the event. Even people texting me asking for a gift card since they couldn't make it, people who came up to me at work the next day because they couldn't make it and made a cash donation, a family I haven't talked to in a few years asked me which location, then showed up! Her receipt collection box was full by the end of the night and it was so cool. And honestly, I don't say that because of the financial burden it is helping with, although we are 100000% grateful for that, but it's because people just care. Maddie screamed like a banshee almost the entire night-not out of anger-but because she loves to hear her own voice echo, and every single head in the building turn to look at her. I tried to talk her out of it and failed. For that, I'm not even sorry :)
We should get the "results" for lack of a better word, of our HGB night in 3-5 weeks. But I know you all rocked it. Thank you.
Also, a mega-special thank you to my MIL, Penny, for putting this on for us. She spent a lot of time gathering orders before and distributing tokens for us. She even camped out in the lobby all day to welcome and thank people who attended before I could get there to do it myself. Mimi's the best!
Maddie's next procedure is the bronchoscopy this upcoming Monday, July 28th. I'm told the procedure is only about 45 minutes and recovery is a couple of hours, so I'm praying everything goes smoothly and we are released to get the MRI to get Miss Maddie on her way to good hips! She's been almost running lately and she turns corners, pivots, squats down. It amazes me how normally she moves. Girl's determined.
That's all for now! Will update again post-bronchoscopy :)
