The Beads of Courage program is something special. In fact, it's a gift. After Jaelyn was life flighted to Phoenix Children's Hospital, we were checked into and set up with a billion and one things to know, to do, and to have. As things slowed down a bit and we were able to process everything, I noticed a booklet and a bag with a few beads inside. It was the Beads of Courage program. The hospital quietly set us up with this wonderful program to help us remember Jaelyn's experience. This booklet had already been marked up and dated with which beads Jaelyn had already earned. With these beads we're able to tell a story of what she's had to endure and how she fought through her heart condition with the odds against her. They'll be a teaching tool for us to show Jaelyn as she grows older and starts to understand it all. And I'm sure eventually, she'll take these to school one day for "Show and Tell" and explain them to her friends and classmates. It's a beautiful idea, these beads. They'll be a physical reminder to her as she goes throughout other struggles and trials that she'll be okay, because once before she's conquered this.
Check out that strong girl and all those beads she's already earned! I love that they do that program. It's a wonderful idea:) She's gonna have many more to come too!
Your baby girl is gorgeous. You guys are such a strong and amazing family! I got my wrap at Target. But you can find it online at Amazon as well. I think it was called a Modbe Wrap. Its around $45! But, totally worth it!
