Our family was asked to join those from the Indiana bleeding disorder community to advocate in Washington D.C. as the new Congress and President are making big changes to our healthcare laws. We saw our opportunity and decided that we are not throwing away our shot for this advocacy event. Since Daddy has been busy with lawyering, Oma flew out with us.
