Christi's Creative Crew: A 2-Day Black Friday Special & a Video with Sawyer's Mom

During the month of November we have been holding a fundraiser for our grandson, Sawyer who was born with a 1 in a 1,000,000 condition called Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP). Click HERE to see his introduction video.

We have another video for you today.

This video shows the readings that we took at the Meijer grocery store.

This family needs to be very diligent in checking how strong the UV rays are anywhere they go to see if it is safe for Sawyer.

Here are some other meter readings that Jessica took on a cloudy day at several time frames

Many times people will comment that it must be better for Sawyer on a cloudy day. Yes, but unless it says 000 he will need to wear all of his UV protective gear.

Jessica and I took a day to get some meter readings at places that they frequent.

The Children's Museum - NOT SAFE! There are so many windows that Sawyer had to wear all of his gear while trying to play at the Children's Museum. "That was not fun" - Jessica

Inside Meijer where they shop for groceries - SAFE

But he cannot take off all his gear until he gets into the store as the meter still reads 007 in the entry.

This is where Sawyer goes to school at the Early Childhood Center

This is a nice little playground for all of the kids, but Sawyer has to have indoor recess time.

The play area in the mall is an occasional option to bring the kids to play (since Sawyer cannot go to any local play parks)

However when Jessica aimed the solar meter up - it read at 001 because of the lighting coming through the sky lights. (it's the little things that you forget about)

Yaya & Bumpa take the grand kids out every December after we have decorated the tree together, and the restaurant of choice for 17 years has been Steak 'n Shake.
Please understand that when we took these readings it was a cold, cloudy day. Had the sun been shining the numbers would have been MUCH higher.

We will be going there next week, and by the time we go it will most likely be totally dark outside because of the time of year (and the time change has helped), that Sawyer will be able to go without all his gear and we can sit wherever we want.

This is how Sawyer has to gear up EVERY.SINGLE.TIME that he goes out the door - Winter, Spring, Summer & Fall.

Here is our quick little video

Sorry about the abrupt ending!
