magical week


We are so sad to say goodbye to the House on the Bay and this magical week. I don't think we've ever had such a fun packed vacation. For the past 2 years we've been in and out of hospitals focused on heart failure and waiting for "the call" for transplant. You forget what life was like before, and get focused on appointments, hospitalizations, medications, surgeries, fear of the unknown, fear of the known and a ton of hope. It almost seems normal to call the cardiologist to let her know the 8 year old flushed her sisters PIC line but if it's any consolation we are pretty sure she did it correctly.

You guys helped us have a week of our old carefree life. The kids were so excited to be here doing all these fantastic activities. We surfed, swam, fished, had a great time at the waterpark and on the pirate ship. You guys fed us so well we're all going home a few pounds heavier. We are so thankful to everyone who donated meals, time, activities and this wonderful house. We are going home with wonderful memories and pictures that have re-energized us as a family.

Mahalo!
Andre, Holly, Aaron, Malia, Analise, Liam and AnaJoy
