Week in WRAP
1. Visiting Adrianna
This past Thursday night I received a phone call around 9:00PM from an unknown number. Upon answering the call, I heard Adrianna's voice from the other end, calling from OSF Children's Hospital. She called to one, ask if I could pray for her and two, tell me that she missed me.
Adrianna was admitted that Thursday with a temperature of 102.5 after receiving the flu shot earlier in the week. 100.5 is considered dangerous for her so I knew the situation was serious. After our talk on the phone, I sent out a prayer request on Facebook and began organizing an RSQAURED hospital visit. I have visited the children's hospital before, but never with 12 other people! I wanted to take all of them to Adrianna, but was not sure if the staff would allow such a large group due to the FLU restrictions. My plan was to "Face Time" the RSQAURED group from Adrianna's room while they were in the lobby, but God had a different plan. Instead, the hospital staff agreed to let Adrianna visit with us in the waiting room.
Thursday night, I told Adrianna that I would be coming to visit Friday, but never mentioned bringing RSQAURED. On top of that, Friday morning Rashel Hariford contacted Adrianna's teacher, Mrs. Watson, and asked if her class could make cards for us to take to Adrianna. She said they could so that night, we went to the hospital 12 people, 12 smiles, and 25 cards strong. We surprised Adrianna in the waiting room and then sat down as a group, taking turns to read each card one by one to her. By the look on her face, I think we made her night :) Please see the attached collage picture! For more photos, visit our Facebook HERE
2. Culver's Fundraiser
After a successful bake sale in 2012, we have been busy brainstorming ideas for our first Fundraiser of 2013. After a few weeks of pondering different restaurants, we finally decided to pursue a Culver's night! What better place to have a fundraiser, right?! Culvers is where RSQAURED was founded and is one of our favorite places for dinner, fellowship, and ice-cream (or should I say custard!). We submitted our form to host a fundraiser and should hear back from them this week. We will keep you posted as the event plans continue to unfold.
Be safe in the crazy weather this week! As of right now, weather.com calls for a high of 60 Tuesday and a low of 1 Thursday. Only Illinois would bring us a 60 degree temperature change :)
Have a SUPER fantastic week everyone!
-Tim
