So "STEWIE" was on his own last night (of course with Donna). It was overall a good night. We have had a few interesting things occur. Another person who has the EXACT SAME names meds were delivered to Chip's room. (In error). Thankfully my Aunt Jean was there, along with Donna, Alesia and Matt, to figure out that Chip was not 8 years or so older than the birthdate said on the large drug box that was delivered on Dry Ice that took up almost the entire space in the refrigerator. Even more interesting is that again this morning the SAME delivery was made with the same WRONG meds. (Well the meds weren't wrong they were just sent to the WRONG person). Apparently the 'other same name man' had a lung transplant. Not sure if he is in the same extended stay hotel but if he is then that is uncanny. However, I think this kink has been handled. (WE HOPE). This could have turned out bad!!
We have had SUCH INCREDIBLE service and have had no hiccups at all so far. The hotel has been INCREDIBLE. They offered to take him to his Dr.'s appointment this morning and to drive them wherever they want to go. Turns out that not only is a hot breakfast available every morning but dinners are offered Monday through Thursday. Now we find out that lunch is served Monday through Thursday. This place just keeps getting better!! We are so incredibly blessed with the service and abundance of friends that we have met so far. Definitely people that we will remember for life.
I am in awe of medical workers. At times I can only imagine what an underrated job it can be. You are dealing clearly with people who are sick or have issues. After all, the medical field is full of SICK PEOPLE which is what it is all about. Yes there are NOT SICK people as well but all those whom we have encountered deal with sick to the gravely ill type. It takes a special person to be able to deal with those whom you know will not make it. On the same hand dealing with those who are very ill and do make it must be a feeling of what I can imagine as being beyond pure joy. Knowing that you have helped someone to keep their life .... it is impossible to fathom for me.
To all the MEDICAL WORKERS who are often on the receiving end of nasty words from sick patients and those who have lost their enthusiasm about life THANK YOU. Because of the many doctors and the donor my brother has been given a second chance. I am a strong believer in second chances and in many cases third ones. Although there is still a long road of recovery he has life because of the hard work of others. The THOUGHTLESS acts of the organ donor is the reason that my brother is still alive. I will forever be a cheerleader for organ donation. I wish the donor family knew how well their loved ones liver is doing. I don't know if knowing that someone else has life and has benefited because of your loved one is a settling thing or not. Seems weird... one looses their life and another has a chance at it. Kind of oxy-moronish. Our hearts are with those who are still waiting for an organ transplant and their families. We can only hope that they have the "MIRACLE EXPERIENCE" that we have.
So that being said, we continue to be thankful and appreciative of what we have. From friends who have reached out to give us their thoughts to the sweet lady named Agnes who mopped his hospital room floor and the newspaper lady in the ICU waiting room who said "The Angels are here" our hearts are warm with joy, love and HOPE.
Here's to Angels continuing to Surround You!
