Steroid update and Radiothon

Mollie has been handling this round of steroids pretty well. I've picked her up early from school every day and that seems to be working. She's not quite as exhausted and grouchy as usual for steroid week. Maybe it's all the excitement about Christmas. Whatever it is, I'll take it.

It's that time of year again. Yes, the Cares for Kids Radiothon! The radiothon raises money to directly benefit MCG Children's Medical Center. We will be participating this afternoon, 4-7 pm. I believe that's when the wagons and toys from "Wagons of Wishes" will be ceremoniously presented to the hospital. It should be a good time.

If you're local, I encourage you to listen to 104.3 WBBQ. The stories of families who have had to use Children's Medical Center are amazing. No parent expects that their child will need the services of the CMC, but so many children do. The CMC needs a lot of specialized equipment and programs just for kids, because kids are not just small adults.

If you wish to make a donation, you can do so through MCG or by calling (866) 412-KIDS (5437).

We're looking forward to the last day of steroids this month (tomorrow). Mollie is very excited to put up the Christmas tree this weekend!
