Jennifer,
According to the Crocket Johnson homepage, there isn't such a doll being made:

However, maybe you can commission one from a good seamstress?

How frustrating! Although I guess it also happens a lot that once stuff starts looking complicated that the smaller centers just constantly defer, which is not always a bad thing. I think that Chicago will be very responsive to you telling them that you're not comfortable waiting 4 months. Keep us posted on how it goes...

What a frustrating thing to go through, but you are right, you are Shelby's voice right now, and unfortunatley when people aren't doing the things they need to, it's up to you and Scott to give a swift kick! You all are in my thoughts and prayers, keep us posted. Hope you enjoyed your cake as much as the girls did ! ! ! Talk to you soon.

I hope you had a wonderful day Jenn ! You deserve only the very very best ! Please keep us posted on what went on today with little Miss Shelby ! I usually check the site daily. Saw you all on TV and thought Shelbly was quite the HIT ! " I like your nose".......TOO FUNNY! According to my parents, she is quite the active little thing at church! Which I am SO glad to hear! Take care, and again, I hope you had a WONDERFUL day !

Jennifer,
I loved that story. They chose some really great quotes--it can be really hard to try to come up with a few lines that will make an impact on those thinking of organ donation, but you did it!
I'm sorry to hear that Shelby is feeling a bit off. Throwing up was definitely one of the things that we dealt with a lot as Anni's liver was failing. I hope that they can just up her prevacid/zantac whatever she's on or add something like reglan, which really helped Anni, too.
We sure enjoyed our visit with you and your spectacular kids!

Can you switch places that does the xrays? Because I don't think it is "normal" for them to take xrays of a toddler without sedation. Vent all you want becasue I think it is ridiculous too. Poor thing. Totally unecessary.
Better Luck next time!
