Happy 17th Birthday Mia - she spent her actual birthday at the
hospital receiving her 195th blood transfusion.
In honor of her special day...
Mia and her birthday twin and special nurse - Miss Christine -
collected gift cards for teens in the hospital.
They received over $1,000. to buy gift cards
so teens can get a special surprise after treatments.
We have a wonderful toy closet for children but
teens (including Mia) don't go in there because they don't
pick out toys.
Hey Dad!
Hey Mom!
We said a big thank you to everyone who donated
and put their names on a sticky note on Mia's
hospital room door.
What a great birthday treat to be able to give back
to the hospital that helps save Mia's life every month.
