This year we
participated in the “Books for Charley” book drive again for Duke’s Pediatric
Cardiac Intensive Care Unit patients. We
were able to collect 46 children’s books in total for the kids! The books ranged anywhere from baby board
books to Dr. Seuss books to books about farms (you know we had to throw some
farm books in…..). We were super excited
to participate again and be able to brighten 46 children’s day with a new book
to read or to have read to them.
We delivered
the box of books at Claire’s last appointment for her liver checkup. I was in such a stir worried that Claire’s
appointment would go like her cardiology appointment went back in May when she
just had meltdown after meltdown. So as
soon as we go to Duke, I dropped the box of books off at the information desk
for the child life specialist to pick up.
It wasn’t until later that day did I realize I never took a picture of
the books! My nerves had the best of me
that day I guess!
But the
child life specialist sent us a special thank you note, so I thought I would post
it instead. It just warms my heart to
know that we help keep Charlotte’s memory alive by warming the hearts of other
children and by spreading awareness of Congenital Heart Defects.
Thanks to
the Ritchie family for allowing us to be part of this wonderful event again
this year!!
Love,
The Scott Family
Thank you SO much for helping! And the very first thing I noticed about this card were the butterflies! How perfect is that?
