Well it's been 3 months since I've dropped of the clothing donations to Levine Children's Hospital's NICU. I went back today with 3 more boxes of clothing from preemie to 3 months. I still have plenty more here to be donated but the hospital is unable to store any massive amounts of clothing. My next drop will be in September.
I was able to speak with Dr. Chiu today during my visit. She was one of the doctors there that cared for Carly. She was sweet, kind, and nice. She always stopped to talk and made the NICU feel more like home. She was there caring for Carly the night she slipped into the arms of Jesus. It's always nice to see someone who had a connection with my daughter. It gives me a feeling that's really unexplainable.
On another note the NICU is going through a renovation. It looked completely different. It's really nice though. They have a new waiting area now that's nice and big for parents and family to sit. New flooring and new walls. It's very modern looking now. I know all the new upgrades will make parents much more comfortable!
I'd like to thank everyone again for all the donations, help, and prayers for this drive. Don't forget, this isn't the first and last drive. This is going to be an annual drive in memory of our daughter Carly to help the Levine Children's Hospital NICU here in Charlotte, NC. We will start collecting donations again probably around October for donation in 2010. Look for more updates on donation drops in September.
Thanks again!
Rachel and Ryan

Wow, I'm only in my second year of our drive in Hawaii, but I am so impressed by the volume you've been able to collect. Thanks for checking out our blogs.
