Rest in Peace, Nick Arundel. Without the Fauquier Times- Democrat our nonprofit would have folded in a year. Mary’s Family owes Mr. Arundel a debt of gratitude. Thank you, Mr Arundel.

Getting ready to take EEG leads off Jeffrey and go home!

If medical neuro residents can’t handle pissed off moms and dads how are they going to handle really tough stuff like dying little girls with Retts or teenage boys with non verbal autism who are having seizures? Jeffrey should be a snap! Med schools need to teach having thick skin, open hearts and minds and disability etiquette. Jeffrey going home and Jeff and I only lost temper with 2 residents in 4 days. Not too bad….Children’s Hospital to the rescue again.

Our Mary’s Family reunion for today. One year old Johnny Mitchell and Jeffrey reunite at Children’s Hospital. Yesterday we ran into Shentelle! All roads go through Children’s Hospital for us…..

Children’s Hospital

Sometimes you learn important news a little late…our dear mentor and friend Mary Donnelly, former patient advocate at Children’s, died unexpectedly this past spring. She inspired us, helped us and we used to joke that we named Mary’s Family after her….a wonderful friend RIP
