Heart Walk 2010!
Today was the Heart Walk. Arianna has been talking about it for weeks and was really excited to go. I was advised by my doctor NOT to do the 3-mile walk but I decided to anyways. I know..I know...BAD mommy!
Here are some pictures from the walk. We went with our Mended Little Hearts of Tucson group and had a great turnout.

More bloodwork needed...
So I just got off the phone with the immunology nurse and this time they didn't lose the blood but they forgot to get a CBC drawn. I'm not sure how all this works and the immunologist is out of town so I'll have to wait to ask questions until he gets back. UGH!! I am thankful for the nurse who is trying to help me get things figured out. This still doesn't take away the fact that my baby will need to have ANOTHER blood draw. I am literally in tears over this. I can't stand that she has to have repeat blood draws because they keep messing up. :( I'm waiting to hear back from our pediatrician because she is the one who will coordinate with the labs on which tubes and such need to be drawn.
I also put a call into Lab Corp and spoke with the manager about this and she is going to look into it herself and get back with me. I really feel like no one cares and that is an awful feeling.
Oh I almost forgot....the nurse told me the immunologist said if I wanted to give Arianna the MMR vaccine, it was up to me but there is a risk. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS GUY!!! Yeah, like I'll take that kind of risk. I have seriously had it with these doctors. I told this nurse that was ridiculous for him to say that and NO I won't take that kind of risk. I will wait another 2 weeks in hope that they get it right this time.
On a good note...I just got the shirts delivered for our Heart Walk tomorrow. So if you in Tucson and want to join us just meet me at the Tucson Mall at 7:45am (I know it's really early, but be glad you don't have to be there at 7am like me) You can park by American Home Furniture and you will see the tent from there. If you have any problems finding the place just give me a call at 520-406-5655. I will be speaking sometime around 7:30am and I'm so exciting to be taking Arianna on stage with me!!! I will post with pictures after we get home.
