Chasing Rainbows: Break Time...

Break Time...

Today was Brian's last day of school for the next two weeks! He won't go back until July 9th. His teachers threw a party today to celebrate. They all ate ice cream and watched The Lion King, which Brian reported was just "too loud." I think he'll miss school, but we have some really fun things planned for his break - including taking a trip to the beach for a little vacation!

This week ends Gavin's therapy before a break as well. Today was the last day he'll see Miss Janna and Miss Maggie for two weeks! (excuse the blurry shots - I can't believe it myself)

Gavin always does something pretty awesome during his therapy break. Who can forget this HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT from last year's two week break?

We were at the beach on the boardwalk rides and Gavin rode the firetruck by himself. It was without a doubt one of the best days of my life.

In other news, I am now six days past my transfer. Or, as they say in the infertility club, I am 6dp5dt - which means "six days past a five day transfer". Which also means for me - still not pregnant. I'm going to have to ask you to hope for me at this point. I'm feeling uncharacteristically optimistic for many reasons. Oh, and God still hasn't gotten back to us on that walkie talkie. Perhaps I should turn to Twitter? I'll keep you posted.

Kate:

I am praying for you daily that you are pregnant and that you are allowed to have another baby. That is my ultimate hope for your family.

Much love from over here on the other coast!

To give you some hope, on 6dp5dt I got a negative. Clear, no line, no hint, shadow or anything BFN. The next day I got the faintest positive. And I was carrying TWINS! This time around, I didn't get a positive until 8dp5dt. Don't give up hope yet.

Keeping you in my thoughts!

Gavin's Playground Project

Gavin's Playground Project was born from my desire to see an "All Abilities" playground built at Nemours/A.I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware. This is the hospital where Gavin spent a lot of time during his life... and where he ultimately died, surrounded by friendly and familiar faces. To mark the one year anniversary of his death, I held a fundraiser on April 5, 2014. You can read all about it in THIS post.

We raised a LOT of money, but not enough for a playground! If you would like to contribute to help make this playground a reality - so no kids will ever have to sit on the sidelines watching their peers play - you can contribute directly to the hospital through the Chasing Rainbows fundraising page HERE. Your donation will go directly to the hospital for the playground and is tax deductible. You can also create your own fundraising team page and start collecting donations in honor of anyone you want!! There is also a mailing address on their page if you prefer to mail a check. Designate your contribution in memory of Gavin Leong - or write in that this is for the playground so your dollars will go to the right place. Thank you for your support of Gavin's Playground Project!

Gavin's Trust Project

I created "Gavin's Trust Project" to help support Gavin's friends who receive services from the Chester County Intermediate Unit in Pennsylvania. I wanted to continue to try to "make the impossible... possible" for kids like Gavin, knowing well how hard it can be to get much needed "special needs" items. It makes me happy to know that even after his death, Gavin continues to help others. Click HERE to learn more about the Trust Project! All of your donations, big and small, will be added to Gavin's Trust Project to help therapists and teachers get what they need for children in this program. You can write a check made out to CCIU and mail it to: Chester County Intermediate Unit, c/o Deb Hiller, 455 Boot Rd., Downingtown, PA 19335. Please be sure to add "Gavin's Trust Project" in the memo. Thank you on behalf of me and my little superhero!
