We've known since day 2 of Macy's life that her medical complications are life-threatening. There were numerous surgeries in which we held her tight, kissed her over and over, and handed her off to the doctors not knowing the outcome. We've had multiple medical crisis episodes that have ended in rushing to the emergency room or calling 911.
We've also known from early on that this is a lifetime battle she is in, with more surgeries, more complications, and more unknowns. We have had many discussions amongst us and some of our medical professionals that Macy would qualify for Make-A-Wish. Children with life-threatening medical conditions between the ages of 2-18 can qualify. Well, earlier this year, Jeremy and I submitted Macy's name. We met our wish granters, Kelsey and Mackenzie, back in Spring. Macy told them all about herself, her interests, her likes, and her favorite things.
We are so excited to announce that Macy had chosen her wish, and the wish process is moving forward! I can't wait to tell you more about her wish when we know more details! It is going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity for Macy and a time for our family to put aside our doctor appointments, our medical concerns, and our unknown fears to just be a family!
Make-A-Wish is such a fantastic organization! If you are looking for a fantastic organization to donate to, this would be it! They are making a huge impact on so many children! You can check out more at http://wish.org/
We will keep you updated!
