Tonight's picture was taken on April 4, 2009. After Mattie had a party in the child life playroom, two of his friends came back to his hospital room with him and the fun continued. By that point Mattie was physically tired but still had spunk enough to play along. As you can see his room was filled with balloons, but what you may not be able to tell was that Mattie wanted his bed raised high off the floor. Which was why everyone was close to the balloons, which had floated to the ceiling.

For two years in a row Fairlington Dental has contributed a lot of candy (from their candy buy back program that occurs post Halloween -- patients bring in Halloween candy and for every pound they get a dollar from the dentist) to our Post Halloween Candy Drive. This year in addition to candy, they also contributed over 100 toothbrush kits and lip balm to our April Item Drive. This is a major gift that will be delivered to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital on Friday. All the items from our Drive go toward stocking the Free Snack/Item Cart that Mattie Miracle provides to in-patient families caring for children.
But this is NOT where the support ends with Fairlington Dental. They also became a Platinum Level sponsor of the Walk & Family Festival this year. So in my opinion they are outstanding Mattie Miracle workers!!!
