(Aaron, Madeleine's father, here) A huge thank you to everyone who has donated and given Madeleine their energy and thoughts. I am trying to keep up with a database I have set up, keeping track of everyone's contact info and donation amounts, and other contributions, like time and energy. The response has been breathtaking, to say the least, close to overwhelming, and we can only hope it continues. Everytime we check her email, or recieve a check in the snail-mail, we are just, I don't know what to say, I guess, just blown away.

We will be sending a more personal thank you to eveyone soon, but for now please know how much we appreciate your generousity, thoughts, and love.

We will try to be diligent on keeping everyone up to date on her progress as well. Her first surgery will be in January sometime.( Because Dr. Bauer wants to wait until she's at least 6 months old, because of the anethesia, and other obvious reasons.)

If any of you want to be part of the spit up club( its good luck by the way) please let us know. With deepest respect and humility, Aaron & Mandy
