Wow, what a great past few days for little Davis! He is eating and sleeping well; he is still fairly inactive (which is good; he's still healing!), and he is full of smiles. He is quite clingy and still fusses at times in which he wouldn't have prior to surgery, but I would too if I were him! Between how he appears physically and how he is behaving, I'd say he is doing quite well for less than three weeks out from heart surgery!
Besides a little update, I want to share with you some information about Down Syndrome Awareness Month, which is October. Buddy Walks are being held all over the country in order to raise awareness and promote acceptance of people with Down Syndrome. The walks are the main fundraisers for local chapters of the National Down Syndrome Society. October 13th is Davis's first Buddy Walk, and I am so excited! We have already had several family members and friends join our team, which is called "Little D and Company," and have also raised $150 of our $500 goal so far for the Chattanooga Down Syndrome Society.
Please visit our fundraising page at http://www.crowdrise.com/LittleDandCompany if you would like to make a donation in honor of Davis. If you would like to walk with us, visit https://www.keysecure.com/chattanoogadownsyndrome.org/index.html to register. Note: if you want a t-shirt, you must register by Friday the 28th at 5:00, and remember to put Little D and Company as the team name. This is our first opportunity to publicly show our support for Davis and other members of the community with Down Syndrome; it's going to be a fun event for all. A big thank you to those who have already donated or registered!
Well, Davis doesn't go back for a doctor's appointment until October 8th and/or 9th. Let's hope the next week and a half continue to yield improvements for Davis. Hopefully, we will be cleared to resume normal activities! Thank you all so much for the continued thoughts and prayers. :)
