A Giant Thank You - Memorial Donations

I received an email today from Bryn Mawr Hospital. They were letting me know that as of today 22 memorial contributions totaling $1,198.71 has been contributed in memory of Aaron and they still get them frequently. When we first decided to have contributions made there in his name we were hoping to hit at least $1,000 so his name could be put on a plaque outside the NICU. We thought it might take time, but it would be really neat to see. We intended to continue to make gifts there in his name on holidays, birthdays etc. So we figured we would get there eventually. I am so happy we will be able to do that sooner than I ever expected and I am also glad that we will be able to continue to help the NICU out. We receive letters saying who donated as they come in, but we didn't know a total amount. To be able to forever honor Aaron's life in this way makes me one proud momma.

As a side note - a girl that I know from a forum on pre-eclampsia (the reason I had to have Aaron early) sent me an email today with a petition to make October 15th a national day to Honor and Remember pregnancy and infant loss. Apparently most states already have this day set aside for this, but they would like to make it a national thing - I think that would be a very nice thing for those of us who have experienced such a loss. If you feel so inclined to sign it here is the link. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/557217746?ltl=1154019561
