This is just another one of those days, that I realize just how blessed we are to have Avery. We spent the afternoon in downtown Jackson at the American Heart Association Heart Walk, and although the crowd was a bit overwhelming when you have a little one, it was great! We finally got to meet a few online 'heart friends' in person at the MS Mended Little Hearts group area. We even saw our wonderful social worker, Gayden, and caught a glimpse of the surgeon we are all so very thankful to have at UMC, Dr. Salazar. Mom and Dad came to support us, and while Dad had to find a shaded area as he is not supposed to be in the sun too much, Avery, Jake, Mom and I all walked the 1 mile route to support heart health and research. Thanks to several wonderful people I know, Avery and I reached our donation goal, and we are thrilled about that! The Hinds Cheerleaders led a warm-up, and Avery was "getting down" to the music- it was so funny. All I can say is, " I wonder where she gets that from?". LOL. She even got a Red Survivor Cap- at least she wore it for a few pics! Hopefully, next year, Jake will be feeling better. He had oral surgery this week, and is still in pain and having complications. Any way, it was a good day for a great cause!
