{ Hello! }

My name is Gavin. I am 11 months old. I was born with a genetic disorder called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency that caused my liver to go into failure. I was misdiagnosed for 3 months and underwent emergency surgery before they found out what was wrong. I am on the Organ Donation List and am waiting for my "gift of life" so I can have a liver transplant. You can read about my story by clicking {here}. Thank you for visiting my online journal!

*It is our deepest sorrow to inform you that Gavin passed away while waiting to receive a liver transplant. He was only 14 days away from his 1st birthday. Please, if you haven't already, sign up to be a registered organ donor today and talk to your loved ones about your wishes: http://www.donatelife.net/. Thank you all so much for your love and support during this last year.

Gavin's Movie Morning!

Saturday was Gavin's Movie Morning Fundraiser thrown by my old friends and coworkers, Nicole and Jen! We all worked together at the dollar theater about 10 years (dang, has it really been that long?!). It was so neat getting to see the "old gang" again...but even more so because we weren't the ones having to serve the popcorn! ;)

Some of the theater employees woke up extra early and donated their time to work the concession stand and start/stop the movie, it was SO sweet of them! And the manager of the theater, Mark, was so helpful and excited about Gavin's cause. THANK YOU so much for letting us use the theater! And THANK YOU so much Nicole and Jen for arranging it all and putting so much work into it. And THANK YOU to everyone who came! It was really fun! :)
