I just want to say thank you to everyone who has supported APFED by buying a Macy's Shop for a Cause ticket. I know some of you bought tickets to give away, some of you don't even know if you can shop at a Macy's that day, and some of you have even asked around at work. I also know that there are many of you who have probably ordered online and I don't even know who, but my heart swells with love and thanks tonight. Take a minute to watch this APFED video and see the kinds of kids you are giving hope to.
I also want to say a special thank you to Karen Coffeen, the Preschool Director at our old preschool Due West United Methodist Church. After hearing about this disorder and this fundraiser, she took it upon herself to send out an email to every parent and teacher in the school asking them to buy tickets. She didn't even realize that a current student and his brother (a preschool graduate) also suffer from the same Eosinophilic disorder. I can't wait to hear what the response is from the parents, but even if no tickets are sold, her willingness to fight for our kids gives me hope and strength.
I'm thankful that we have had an uneventful week at the Ackerman house. Kaylin and Gavin are both feeling well and are on track with their medications, and I'm learning more about this disease every day.
In my thoughts and prayers always, Elise!
