5 Year Seizure Free Fundraiser

On May 11, 2013 from 7-10 pm at TechLove in Nob Hill (3901 Central NE 87108) we will celebrate 5 years of seizure freedom for Lily Sophia with a fundraiser for the Hemispherectomy Foundation: http://hemifoundation.intuitwebsites.com/welcome.html

 Admission will be $5 single, $7 couple and includes Pizza from Little Cesar's and soda!

A Mary Kay representative will be on site to do hand softening demonstrations!

Each year the Hemi Foundation has given our family a grant to help cover travel for all four of us to go the Hemi conference. The first year we went to Disneyland and last year we went to Baltimore. During the conference, Lily gets to go to camp with other kids who have had the same surgery and Lola gets to go to camp with other siblings. As they get older, this will become more and more helpful for them. For Paul and I, it is an opportunity to be around the only other people in the world who have any grasp of what we have experienced.

In addition, the Hemi foundation provides support and networks to families who have just been referred for this surgery. The Halls created this organization because, like us, they were the only people they knew going through this experience and wanted to lighten the load for other families.

We will hold a raffle on May 11th at the event but will begin selling the tickets on Monday 04/08/13 and will continue to sell up until 9pm on May 11. The prizes are great! Keep checking back here for new items that are being added to the pool!

Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20!

First post from Cleveland. Countdown to Hemiversary.

Untitled Journal entry by  Lisa Rossignol  —  Mar 22, 2008 We are in Cleveland....never thought life would take us here. What a gift it has been, though. The Ronald McDonald's House is a large, beatiful building that has offered us a large, clean room for four for a measly $20/night. The other hotels near the hospital run $72-$225/night. Different community groups come in each night and cook all of the families dinner. It is usually pretty yummy but no green chili here.  We have been here one week and it really doesn't feel that way. When we stepped off of the plane, we stepped into an alternate, fuzzy universe where nothing makes sense-nothing sticks. It is a nice sort of mental holiday.  The first few days got to me because Lily was so unhappy having all the EEG leads glued to her head that she just cried and cried. Also, this is a hard culture. You know that everyone in this house has a really sick baby and during meals everyone makes ro...

Mudd Volleyball

Every year for the past 17 years thousands of Albuquerque residents filed into the South Valley to stand knee high in muddy water and play volleyball. Teams come dressed in themes and there is a contest for 'Best Camp', 'Best Costumes', 'Best Fundraising', and of course 'Mudd Volleyball Champion'. All of the proceeds go to benefit the Carrie Tingley Hospital Foundation. I worked for a company a few years ago that was a sponsor so we had the VIP tent and everything was taken care of. All I had to do was show up and play. It was amazingly fun.    This was our first complete Mudd Volleyball experience. My husband and I had decided to buy a team because the registration is 100% tax deductible and as small business owners we had to increase our charitable giving for the tax incentive. The reason we chose this charity is for the fact that a few months prior, by the recommendation of our 4 year old's physical therapist, the Carrie Tingley Hospital Fo...

Can't find gainful employment so I guess I will just...

I moved from a career in advertising and marketing to advocacy in 2009, after my first child was born with multiple disabilities. I worked for peanuts for much of that time, got a master's, part of a phd, published in prestigious journals, traveled the world, but could never convert all of my experience into a well paying job or really, the kind of respect in my field I had hoped for. So, in February 2018. I gave up. I removed myself from all policy and advocacy positions, took on some odd contracts, and mostly just committed to enjoying my newfound freedom. The internet is full of great ideas to pass your time. Time, combined with a degree in sculpture, and a very small budget, I have been able to do some fun stuff. I'm not sure if anyone will be interested in the things I am doing, but thought I'd put it out there, just in case there is another person like me, milling around the inter webs, looking for inspiration. <3 Let's get weird!!!
