Hello everyone,
I am sorry it has been awhile since we have last e-mailed everyone or blogged. We are all doing well. Bailey has had less frequent episodes. We are still waiting for one more test, but I think that he is doing fairly well. Things have been so crazy here. We have decided to leave Menifee and move back into military housing. It brings us closer to the military hospitals, cuts Ed's commute in half, and will allow us to start saving. It was a hard decision to make, but the best for our family.
BUT we are going to be okay, so do not worry. The real reason we were doing this e-mail update is to share with you Bailey's two upcoming adventures. At the end of the month, Bailey will be participating in the National Young Scholar's Program at Occidental College. He will be attending the Leadership and Medicine strands. He is so excited because he really wants to be a Pediatric Cardiologist when he grows up. I think it is commendable that he is so driven. I hope he continues to go after his dreams. Then in March, he will be attending the People to People conference in Washington D.C. Both of these events were through his teacher's nomination. He is doing amazingly well in school. We could not be more proud of him. Last week he tested for his split belt and although he was getting pretty tired, he followed through. If all continues to go well, he will test for his black belt in 6 months or so.
We know better than anyone how tough it is financially, but if you are able to make a small donation, please do so. This is one of the projects that Bailey has been working on and it would mean a great deal to him to get some support. Even if it means recycling your bottles and cans for a month and donating the proceeds. (Which by the way, I have to go and recycle the donations we received this month...it has been that crazy!) i hope you are able to help us. We only do this walk and fundraising because it affects many of our loved ones, Bailey who was born with a heart defect and our families who have battled heart disease. Thank you.
