My Story

Addison was born on 1/8/08, three days later we found out that she has Congenital Heart Disease.

If you would like to donate to Addison's Ball you can do so directly through Commerce Bank. Donations made here go to Caring Bridge.

Spring has arrived and we are so busy and Addison loves every minute of it!  She is thriving and enjoying being one.  She loves to be outside so we are really hoping this rain stops soon.  She got a new bike from the Easter bunny and that has been used every nice day since!  She is saying lots of words and she is into copying.  She will copy movements and one sylable words (she called daddy Mike the other day and it was so funny)!  The oxygen has been picked up so the house is off of the combustible list at the fire department!  Thank goodness!

 

We are so excited for the 2nd annual Ball and that is what May is about!  We have lots of birthdays to get through, then the big event!  The most exciting part about the Ball for me is that we are going to meet another family that has a little girl with the same exact disease as Addison.  She is the only person I have been able to find with exactly the same thing!  Her name is Marin and she and her parents live in Louisianna!  Marin is only 3 months older than Addison and was treated in Boston.  Another similarity beyond the heart is that both Marin's dad and Mike are Marines and served in Iraq at the exact same time!  We are so excited to meet them and they will be flying in for the weekend of the Ball. 

 

So hopefully, we will see everyone at the Ball on the 30th and I will update soon!  Remember, thanks to Harry and Laura we have a fab website that you can buy tickets on!  www.addisonsball.com

 

As always thank you for all of the prayers and well wishes!  Those along with Addison's drive and spirit, we are doing great!
