    Default Our TV STAR!!!

    Blair Balson, the hospital where Mary Elizabeth had her surgery last week, is having a radiothon this week. Several local radio stations are broadcasting from there until the weekend to raise finds for the hospital.

    Mary Elizabeth, Sara, and Stephen were interviewed and are the family that was featured on the local news!

    Here's the link so you can see the story:

    I never got around to posting a picture, but this is even better! Great awareness for cranio defects and getting the word out about how correctable it can be.

    They did go home yesterday, slept wonderfully last night in their own beds.

    Sara said to be sure to tell people that her hair and makeup team gave up before filming them after they found out she had slept in a chair for 6 nights!

    I'm so proud of them for being able to do this and get her story out!
