It's that time of year again...the Eric and Kathy 36-hour radiothon to raise money for Children's Memorial.
Rob and I began donating before we had kids....with the thought that if we'd ever need it, we'd have the best hospital in our own backyard. Never did we think that not 1, but 2 children would be touched my Children's Memorial.
Obviously our life was shaken a little when Abigial was born 9 weeks premature. It's not natural to see your baby having machines help her breath, and not being able to hold her for days. We had amazing doctors and nurses from Children's Memorial (and Central Dupage Hospital) that were there for us.
And 2 years later, when Caitlin was having some scares, we were back in Children's Memorial. They literally have her the gift of sound! :)
We have worked with pediatricians, neonatal specialists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, gastroentonologists, and ENT doctors and nurses from Children's...we they are all here in our backyards! We know we are so so blessed to have them here, and will continue to support this hospital!
I have been listening to stories of parents who need Children's for serious things such as pedatric cancer, heart transplants, etc. I know those parents' lives literallly changed in a split second. It is something no one thinks they will need, but are grateful it is here when you do.
We hope to never need Children's Memorial again (although I'm sure stiches are in our near future with our explorer Caitlin) but are so grateful it's in our backyard if we do! Please support Eric and Kathy's 36-hour Radiothon....do it for our girls!
