Last week we took some of our patients to Amazing Glaze and had such a great time!

We had a mix of familiar faces and first-time participants, and for many it was their first time painting pottery—making it a brand-new experience all around.

Everyone picked their own piece and chose their colors. It was wonderful to see their creativity, confidence, and joy shine through! It was especially meaningful to celebrate big wins—like increased independence and trying new things with confidence. 🎨🖌️

Thank you for attending and for sharing.

We attended the Forever in Bloom event today at Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital, and we were absolutely in awe of the work and heart that went into the event. Seeing members of Beau's care team was incredible, especially since we only see them online these days! Being able to introduce Beau's little sister to everyone was bittersweet and wonderful all at once. The speakers and activities and presentations meant so much to our family! Thank you to our MWPH family for continuing to care for us!

Home Days are the BEST days 💛
Adelyn went home today, and we couldn’t be more proud! She made incredible strides during her time at MWPH.
She also formed a very special bond with Bata — his biggest fan! 🐾 They spent so much time in therapy together, and he truly motivated her — especially when it came to walking. Our therapists even shared that she always did her best work when he was by her side.
Her Elsa doll made things even more special — a generous donation from a former patient’s family that ended up being the perfect fit after all her hard work ❄️
Congratulations, Adelyn!
