Welcome to Julia's Site!

This blog is made available for several reasons. First and foremost, to keep those that know Julia current with what is going on with her and her progress. It is also my intention to educate those who do not know Julia about what happened to her, so they can make educated decisions about their own children. I want to welcome those of you with questions about her disease, treatments, and just the general life (the good and the bad) of living with a brain damaged child. Finally, it is a therapeutic release for me, Julia's mom, Susan. I love writing and need to get some of this stuff out of my head and onto "paper". Thank you!

Julia's Softball Tournament to raise money for the Rise School!

Things are going good with getting ready for the "Rise to the Challange" softball tourney that Shawn is putting together. We have about 7 teams (wish we could get a few more....), and several people who have volunteered ther time to help out. We got the fields reserved in Lakewood, working on umps, and mostly just trying to organize and figure out prizes, sponsers, booths, banners, etc for the event. We want this to work out and be profitable because The Rise School of Denver is just so great. They have been so patient with all of the intrusiveness of the attorneys and different Life Care Planners and other evaluators. They have made Julia A PART of a classroom, instead of being placed "apart" in the public school she attended for a year. They are just the best, and all proceeds go to the School, not a dime to Julia's tuition. We want to help. So, pray for success! And a special Thank you to Colorado Service Dogs for all the information you gave to Shawn yesterday to help spread the word. I am still shocked at the coincidence of meeting Dobbie and hearing about you at this perfect time!
