Dan: "I though Make-A-Wish was for kids diagnosed with a critical illness...that is placing the child's life in jeopardy?"
Tina: "Yes, it is and that is our child."
Realizing that Olivia's diagnosis of Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) falls into that category is scary, but it has also opened this beautiful door to her getting a hot tub! When we thought of potential wishes for her, these were the top 3 we noted:
1) Hot Tub (loves water)
2) Meet Matthew McConaughey (listens to his audiobook just about every night)
3) Accessible Bathroom Reno (much needed as she gets bigger)
After careful consideration, the hot tub seemed to be the best fit. The experience from start to finish with Make-A-Wish has been absolutely incredible. Just last year the PICU doctors were prepping us to possibly lose her and this year we now celebrate her life and love for water. Timing has been spot on from every phone call to the date of delivery. It has overturned the hurtful memories of certain days to joyful ones. Thank you so much to everyone who was a part of this journey and made it so special for Olivia and all of us too.
