We recently participated in a 5k walk to raise awareness and support for those affected by congenital heart defects. We were so happy that some of our family was able to join us also. Unfortunately the little lady we were all walking for was stuck in the hospital AGAIN along with her daddy. Dahlia did not tolerate her formula and she lost even more weight. She was in the hospital for about a week and placed on a new hypoallergenic formula for kids with allergies and GI problems. Once she proved to the doctors that she was tolerating the new formula, was gaining weight and did not need a feeding tube shoved down her throat, she was finally able to leave. So frustrating!
All of the kids were able to finish the walk, with only little whining, mainly by Laila
when she tripped and fell in the mud.
The event was held in down town Houston.
Everyone at the finish line. We got a late start, stopped to take pictures,
and had lots of kids with us, so we were one of the last groups to finish.

After the walk there were lots of activities for the kids to do. They loved this rock climbing wall. Aiden eventually made it to the top, even though he was a little scared. This was such a neat event, it was awesome to be surrounded by so many people all supporting the same cause.
