Chasing Rainbows: Grade A...

Grade A...

Taking the night off from writing due to lack of motivation...

But I did want to mention this. Our embryo transfer has been pushed to Thursday. The embryologist thought that our little embryo could benefit from two more days of baking and dividing. He told us that the quality is EXCELLENT. Grade A, he said. This was something I haven't heard using my own eggs, so we are psyched!

I'm also so, so happy that the transfer will be on Thursday. June 7th is my parent's wedding anniversary. This year they would have been celebrating 54 years. To me it's like a thumbs up from Heaven that my procedure would fall on this day.

Love never dies.

Do you know that if this embryo was growing inside of me at this moment, I would technically be 2 weeks and 3 days pregnant? Crazy when you think of it that way.

One egg is now one embryo. Hopefully I can count on your one prayer or one positive thought come Thursday.

I guess I had more motivation than I thought!

Now here are two gratuitous photos of our superhero, Gavin, from today to make your night.

The end.

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!
