I recieved a email from a lady who started Ava's Elephants which is a wonderful organization. This lady sends elephants with the childrens names on them to children with Craniosynostosis so they have something to bring to the hospital. The email is below. For anyone wanting to donate, here is the email below. If you do order one for Deuce then make sure you post that you did so he doesn't end up with 15 :)
Thank you all.
Stephanie,
Thank you so much for contacting me. I will most definitely be keeping your son in my prayers as he faces this surgery. I know first hand how emotionally challenging this journey can be. Please know that you too will be in my prayers. I can honestly say that you will find strengths you never thought you had. You will also be nothing short of amazed at your son's strength, drive to be well, and bravery through the entire process.
I am more than happy to personalize an elephant for your son as a way to show my support to cranio kids. Meg’s Gifts, in High Point NC, has teamed with me to provide the elephants. We are asking that a 15.00 donation be made just to help cover the cost of the stuffed animal. Any donations are highly appreciated so that we may see this project continue.
Donations can be made payable through Paypal (ashley@avaselephants.com) or to Ava's Elephants (PO Box 6437, High Point, NC 27262)
Please let me know your son's name, as each elephant is personally monogrammed, and a mailing address.
Much Love & Support,
Ashley

Deuce's Dedication was at Keypoint Church this past Sunday night. He was a little ham, getting all the attention. It is funny how people always talk about how big he is. I think he is perfect..a little heavy, but perfect. I was so blessed to have my family there. Our friends Amber, Scott and Grayson were there to be apart of his dedication but missed our friends Lisa and Jerry and our other friends Ethan and Shelley. We love them all the same but it would of been even more special with all of them there. If I could, I would have invited my whole FB friends list! LOL
I posted pictures on my Facebook page for anyone wanting to see Deuce acting like a ham!
More importantly, I am extremely happy that we made a commitment before the Lord to submit our child to God's will and to raise Deuce according to God's Word and God's ways..

I spoke with the hospital and no word yet on the insurance company, but they said they ARE working on getting Deuces surgery approved. Keep your fingers crossed people!!!
On another note...I am happy to have my son Jackson home from a weekend football trip. I heard he did really well. It was nice seeing him walk through the door last night.
My daughter, S'Dney, went buck wild at Victoria Secrets on Saturday...what happened to my little tomboy??
BTW - Purple is my new favorite color. It respresents children with Craniosynostosis.
Toodles,
Stephanie
