January 24th~Update

I have been a little lax with the blog updates because I always post the info and Facebook and then forget about the blog! So, here is the FB post from a week ago...

This has been one incredibly blessed day! We went to meet the guy from the Dayton Gems to get more tickets, (we sold 40 more today, totaling 210!), we met several people including the team owner/president/manager, etc. and toured the terribly smelly locker room, seriously bad! They gave us t-shirts, hats, programs, posters, cups, cow bells. Here's the amazing part: we get there and he says "we have been getting call after call after call for tickets from people who know about Jimmy, we don't typically get this many calls...you guys must be really nice people!" lol~He said the owner of Bob Evans in Tipp called them and want to do a fundraising night for Jimmy, and Great Clips plans to do haircuts in the lobby at Hara the night of the game as a fundraiser!! A reporter for Tipp Register Herald called them for an interview about the benefit and I did a 30 min phone interview with her today. I have another meeting w a writer for Tippecanoe Gazette on Thur. I LOVE that they are writing about Jimmy as a person and not just an ad for the benefit game! The part that I cherish more than anything is that this many people are doing all of these things for my son. The day I sat in that dr's office and was told that my baby boy had cancer, I thought I would die from pain and heartbreak. But God didn't allow that to happen, He has been with us the entire time and protected my son when I couldn't, and he has given us hope and filled our lives with amazing people with hearts that want to make things a little easier for us. All I can say is thank you ♥

Here is the link for the article from the Sunday Record Herald~Although I am generally happy with the article, I would have liked it a lot more if it had been completely factual. The writer took A LOT of liberties with things that were said and not said. There are things in the article that were in quotes that I didn't say and a lot of things worded differently, but it is what it is.
