So I made Jason and the girls get up nice and early on Saturday and we participated in the Heart Run. We didn't participate in the competitive portion of the race because we couldn't with the strollers, but we did do the non competitive portion of the race. It was pretty emotional for me and I caught myself tearing up during it several times. There were so many people there walking and running and it just put into perspective to me how many people live with heart disease. I walked in memory of so many precious babies and I walked in honor of so many we have met. I walked for Mia and her precious Angel Heart, I walked for Maddie who recently had a cath procedure done, I walked for Grace and Teagan and all the other heart babies out there. After the race all of the mended heart participants got a special red hat instead of the blue hat that everyone else got, when I went to get the hat the man behind the table asked me if I had a mended heart. I told him that I didn't and then I pointed to Fia and told him that she did. He was very surprised, but gave us a hat anyway. Gabi told me next year she would actually run with me, which may be fun. Every child that ran the race got a medal, so there is a picture of Gabi holding her's up.
Another reason I believe I was a little more sensitive is the realization of what my baby girl went through. Sophia has been pretty sick lately and I have been stressing myself out trying to figure out what it was. I thought it was RSV, but then learned that it probably wasn't because of her synagsis shots, then I thought it was teething, (which some of it is because she is getting three new teeth). Jason took her into the doctor on Friday because she still hadn't gotten any better and Dr. Penman told us to bring her in if she still wasn't feeling well. Well, we found out that she has a DOUBLE ear infection. I was pretty upset when I learned this. Sophia was not bothering her ears at all, she wasn't running a fever, anything. It just goes to show that my baby girl went through so much that a double ear infection doesn't bother her.

I hope Sophia's feeling better...ear infections are no fun. Glad you got to do the race and thanks for thinking of Maddie! That was sweet. Hope it's warming up up there :)
