Thanks to everyone who donated to the party for USA Children's & Women's Hospital! The kids stayed in there with us more than 2 hours! I heard that one of the kids never leaves her room, but she hung out the WHOLE TIME with us!
We had ice cream sundaes/banana splits, cheeseburgers from McD's, watermelon, you name it! After the 2 hrs of crafts and music, we took the remaining crafts and balloons and cokes and burgers around the halls to all the folks who were unable to come to the party. It was really awesome to see them, all tucked in for the evening at 7:30 pm (that's just how it is inpatient) and we show up at the door with a stars and stripes balloon, drinks, and goodies! I wish I could do that every day!
I took pictures, but due to privacy issues, we can't post them online. I did learn that next time, I will get releases signed by the parents, then I can post them! We are already thinking forward to next year's party, to be held in a bigger room at the hospital. I am sure we will have a bigger turnout next year!
Please don't forget to donate. I have not needed a basket but I do have enough to get a couple made. I am sure we will be hearing from 2 families who are doing their pre-transplant workup right now. They will need gas money and food money, since they live 30 minutes past Mobile, and will be going to Children's in Birmingham. (This is the child I mentioned earlier, the one who stayed at the party the whole time.)
With HOPE,
Tammy
