September 3,4 and 5 was the radio thon. I found myself constantly listening to the radio fascinated with all the families stories. Becca, Gary and I were interviewed and on air Sat. for the NICU hour. Just from a few family members and Gary and I, we were able to donate $400. My goal is to raise $1000.00 for next year. I answered phone from 1-4. Of course I did have to take a few brakes. Jerry Kristopher did get me crying when I was answering calls. He came over to the phone bank and asked, "Where do you think your daughter would be without CCMC." I answered truthfully, I don't think we would have here. CCMC is an incredible hospital that has done so much for our family. How do you Thank the Doctors and Nurses that saved you daughters' life on so many occasions that I have lost count. I can not even put into words how it feels when you watch your tiny daughter stop breathing and watch the Nurses, usually Kathy come running and have to "bag" your daughter to get her to start breathing again. You feel helpless and scared and you try not to think about it. If you stop and think about it while it's happening you have a melt down. God Bless all that work in CCMC. Everyone on staff is amazing! I'm proud to say that over $229k was raised and the past record was blown out of the water! Thank You to all who donated and to all who worked on it!
