Not a problem. I'm sure we'll do it again next year. As of right now, there are plans for Miss Riley to be the ambassador for WalkAmerica in our area. I think it's in May.

Thank you Jen...and it did sound wonderful. I loved the Imagine poem. It's hard to explain to other people what we went through, but that pretty much sums things up. I think in the future, instead of taking an hour trying to explain, I'll just hand them a copy of that poem. Very moving. Whosures, thank you for updating us and for helping to host such a wonderful event.

Look in Parents of Preemies......I posted asking for the scoop and so Whosures gave a nice summary. I really wish I could have been there, it sounds wonderful!

Anyone have an update on this event? I'd love to hear details!

[:(]
Wanted to go but have two sick kids and hubby got scheduled to work.

I'm bummed.

Thank you for the update. We are planning on being there.

Wish I could be there. I'll pray for you to have strength as you read, and as you help honor all those babies! I hope you have a great turn-out.

Okay, I hope everyone gets this in time. The Indianapolis Prematurity Roll Call has been moved. We will conduct the Roll Call INDOORS at the Emmis Communications Building on the west side of the Circle downtown. We will begin the Roll Call at 6pm in the lobby on the First floor and if weather permits, finish the Roll Call by circling the monument. The Emmis building is where WIBC and 97.1 are aired. The best place to park is probably in the Circle Center mall. As far as I could tell, there aren’t any events downtown so it should only be $1.50 to park. I can't wait to meet you guys if you can come. I'll be there early so try to find me. My cell number is 850-7702 and I'll be reading a tribute at the very beginning. Please pray for me to have strength and not cry (too hard) during the poem.

Hello! We live in northern Indiana, and will not be able to attend this wonderful event, but would be honored if you would include our daughter in your services that evening. Her name is Taylor Morgan Threlkel, born 8/26/02 at 35 weeks due to Eclampsia, weighing in at 4 lbs. 4 oz. She's now a healthy, happy three year old. Hope to see you at the ZooBoo!! Thanks, Rob & Kristen Threlkel

I'm so glad you guys will be there. Hopefully we'll be able to find each other. I'll leave more info as I get it but from what I understand, we'll have a big screen hanging from the NCAA Hall of Fame. The singers will be on the steps right in front (leading to the canal) and the candleholders will be lining the canal. Bring your friends and family. You can actually register to be there at http://www.marchofdimes.com/indiana/6186_17313.asp
We're trying to work out details on who will be reading the names (last I heard, it was Evan Bayh) and free parking. I'll keep you updated. We're hoping it will look absolutely beautiful and be a wonderful tribute to all of our children.
