Today's post is not about our family here at home - but extended family.
First, congratulations to Dr. Duffy and his family on the arrival of the newest member of their family. We read about the birth of their baby Mark from the Hufty's Caring Bridge site. Dr. Duffy was involved in many of Gabe's later surgeries, primarily after Dr. Little left. He was a great source of support and we are very happy for him and his family.
Second - kudos to everyone involved in the Guns and Hoses fundraiser last night. It was quite the event and raised a lot of money for two very worthwhile causes. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the organizers and all of the men and women who were charitable enough and brave enough to step into the ring for such a great cause. I've never been to any kind of boxing match, or even watched it on TV, so it was an interesting experience. I got a lot more caught up in the drama than I imagined I would!!
Third - Amy Willis, who left some very kind and encouraging comments on the blog in the early days, has been diagnosed with cancer and there is a fundraiser for her. I am pasting the flier on this blog and hope that if any of you are able to offer support for the fundraiser, you will seriously consider doing so. If you can't, please offer your support in prayer.
Fourth - I have noticed ads for a rodeo fundraiser to be held later in March, with all proceeds going to the Ronald McDonald House to be built here in Evansville. The RMH was a tremendous help to us during our stay at Riley and we are very excited there will be a house here to support tri-state families going through similar difficult times. I have included a link to their site which has information for donating, and also upcoming events. Again, if you are unable to help at this time, we hope you will consider keeping their efforts in your prayers.

Peggy,
Thank You so much for your post about the benefit for me. I have still been out here lurking and checking on Gabe periodically. To all of the ladies who read this: Do your monthly breast checks, you WILL feel the mass. I didn't think I would but did. I had a mammogram fourteen months prior that didn't show anything. I am only 38 and really not supposed to have mammograms for another two years. No family history of it. Thank You for all of the prayers. God is so GOOD!
