I just don't even know where to begin . . . First of all, I am here in SLC with my mom and Gavin is NOT! There was a staffing problem and they did not have enough nurses to admit Gavin today. As of right now, we are expecting Gavin to be transported at 7:30am tomorrow. We drove up here to SLC this morning and we are now here at the Ronald McDonald House. Never in a million years did I ever think I would stay here. Now that I am here in this situation, I am so grateful. It is a VERY large house with about 20 bedrooms with attached bathrooms. They have a huge kitchen that is always stocked with food and meals at night. It's only $10 a night, and I just don't know what I would do without an establishment like this house. It is only for parents with sick children who are at the hospital. I haven't gotten to talk to many people yet, but I am sure we are all in the same boat here. Never again will I walk or drive passed a Ronald McDonald House Donation Box without dropping money in it. Also, just so everyone knows. . . one of the main ways they collect money is with pop tops. So, EVERYONE SAVE YOUR SODA TOPS! I will take them in and try to repay them. This is just amazing . . . now only if they can help Gavin. . .

We will start our collection of soda can tops and spread the word about this. I feel the same way about the Ronald McDonald House now, too. Thanks for telling us all about it.
I will miss you. I am thinking good thoughts.
Lindsay, our prayers are with you. Let me know if there's anything you need done down here while you're away. I'd be happy to do whatever I can.:) Did Gavin show up today?
