Ronald's Run

First off, Happy Mothers Day! It's been a few days since I've written. Penelope is now 5lbs 6oz. Her weight has been the same the last few days since they switched her to 27 calorie fortifier. Her feeds are 42Q3, and her respiratory support has remained unchanged. Tomorrow another eye exam. Fingers crossed!

Today was the 27th Annual Ronald's Run fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald House. My good friend Wendy put together a team (Team Penelope), and we managed to raise $1000+ in online donations plus some cash donations that haven't been tallied yet. We had 7 runners, and 8 walkers. Lucy participated in the Kids Run, a 30 yard dash, and she rode in the stroller for the 5k. At the 2 mile mark she decided she wanted to run again, so she RAN the rest of the 5k. She was so excited when the whole crowd cheered for her as she ran across the finish line. It was awesome! So be prepared when I start bombarding everyone with emails next spring for the 28th Annual Ronald's Run to join our team "Every Penny Counts"!
