There's no doubt in our minds that Texas Children's Hospital saved our precious little Walker's life. Whenever we can, we try to give back in some way. I remember receiving a letter in the mail that a donation had been made to the Ronald McDonald House in Walker's name from my babysitter growing up, JA. We cried.
TCH is a magical place. Not magical like Walt Disney World but magical in the sense that miracles happen there. You see it all around you. There is no doubt that there is heartache but with every patient, I believe, they are finding cures and new treatments for future patients.
Participating Dairy Queens said that they would give proceeds of every blizzard they sold today to the Children's Miracle Network which helps children's hospitals. From the Dairy Queen Miracle Treat Day website, they say,
"These donations have gone to support research and training, purchase
equipment, and pay for uncompensated care, actions that align with their
mission to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible".
I made a bribe to my Facebook friends to go out and get a Dairy Queen blizzard and take a picture of themselves with it and they would make the blog. And they did! Their purchases helped raise money for children's hospitals in their area.
THANK YOU!

So sweet, H! (literally). I got all misty eyed. Walkie is such an amazing little guy.
XOXO
