Tonight's picture was taken in March of 2006. This was a VERY unusual occurrence in our home. Mattie rarely napped, I mean ever. Even as a baby, napping wasn't his favorite thing to do. However, as a preschooler, when Mattie headed to the couch and fell asleep, I knew he was sick with a fever.

This is a listing of all six of our grant recipients. Dr. Canter received a $10,000 grant from us and her research was selected by the American Psychosocial Oncology Society's research committee. The other five studies were personally selected by Mattie Miracle, given that these studies lined up with Mattie Miracle's vision and commitment for Standards implementation.
On an aside, the hotel fiasco continued today. I was so exasperated that I decided while taking a break from the conference, to search trip advisor. Trip advisor posted some very bad reviews on this hotel, two of which were from this week. In fact, one person must have been staying on our same floor, as he too complained about the mattresses, moving of furniture throughout the hallways at ALL hours of the day and night, and the inability to get anywhere with hotel staff. In any case, while reading Peter out loud these reviews, a man came up to us and wanted to know if everything was okay. When I said it wasn't, Eddie introduced himself to me as Guest Relations Coordinator. He literally sat down with me and listened to my tirade. I assure you I have been fighting my way through this hotel since I got here. Today, Eddie, with his professionalism, addressed all my concerns. It gives me hope that there are still some people around in our service industry who want to excel and are client oriented. I told him this hotel needs to clone him!
