Yard Sale

Words can not express my gratitude for everyone and their help with our yard sale. This morning I felt very overwhelmed with the rain and all the donations. By the end of the day I am so thankful and overwhelmed with the time, money and donations that everyone has given to us. The nice weather finally came out and things turned out well. I have only a few things left.

One of the most amazing things happened. I had a man who asked for info about why we are doing this. I didn't think much of this, he asked how much we needed and all the info. I thought it was weird and but gave him basic info. He borrowed my neighbors computer and paid for the hotel room for Kimmie and I. Words can not express my gratitude for this amazing donation. His wife talked him into giving me his name and phone number just in case of any problems. But he wanted to do this completely anonymous. He said that he use to have seizures as a child. I asked how to thank him and he said to pray and thank the Lord that he stopped and was in a position to be able to help.

I can't believe that this amazing man and his wife came and did that for us. I am also amazed that so many of my friends and family came and help, donated and were there for us. THANK YOU!
I love you!!! I could never repay you for your love and help!

Yard Sale

Kimmie has officially been diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing. I can only tell you that it is nice for the fact that finally her unusual seizure behavior finally fits into a syndrome box with other kids. Well with that being said, the International Dravet group that I am a member in is having a conference in August. They will be holding it in Chicago. The really neat thing about this is that Dr. Dravet will be attending. The most world renowned doctors in this area will be seeing patients for consultations. A friend of mine e-mailed Dr. Dravet and she said that she would be interested in seeing Kimmie. I don't know if we will get a consultation with her or one of the other doctors but Kimmie and I need to head to Chicago. If there is any more ideas on what we could be doing different to help her I would like to find them. We officially with her new medication, can't afford the trip. I have received a grant to pay for our conference registration and the doctor consultations. I have also applied for other grants although nothing at this point has come through. So my dear friend Bethany suggested the other day that I hold a yard sale for Kimmie. So if you are interested in donating items or coming and helping or purchasing anything I will be holding a...
