"Fun" at the Hospital

Though it sounds unbelievable, the time Michael has spent at Children's is not all bad.  The staff is focused not just on making the children comfortable but allowing them to have some experiences that could actually be ones they would enjoy.

During his second round, the St. Louis Cardinal's mascot Fred Bird came for a visit!  Fred Bird came with the umpires from the Cards game the night before.  The umpires and Fred Bird spent quite a while visiting, brought gifts, and took lots of pictures that Michael will be able to display.  Different groups within the hospital have provided Michael with lots of gifts from blankets and pillows to games and books.  He is truly learning to appreciate the small joys in the midst of the larger trial.

So many of YOU have made his time in the hospital comfortable.  We've been amazed at how many have come to visit.  The snacks, the books, the movies, the games that you've brought or sent have made the time go by as quickly as possible.  We thank God for each of you and your thoughtfulness.
