We are still trying to keep ourselves busy, so we made the trip to the car to grab the blanket and hat donations from our non-profit "Warming Hearts" for delivery to 8 west on the cardiac floor. At about 9:45 we got our first update that Tucker has all of his lines in and was under full sedation and they where about to make the first incision.
Then we made lunch plans to go to "The Squealing Pig" with Donnie to take our mind off of things.
We brought all of our stuff back to the NP office on the floor. Since we were part of the home monitoring program we brought back our scale and daily log book and now Tucker will Graduate to the surgical program NP program. This is so sad because I have really developed a relationship with our home NP Ann Marie Baldwin. Glad to be rid of that scale and daily checks of all sorts...but bittersweet to say goodbye to AnnMarie. :o(
Then we went to meet with Lauren, 8 east's cardiac child life specialist. She was thrilled to see us and our enormous box of donations. It really warmed my heart because there was a little girl sitting in the playroom. Please know how much it means to everyone on the floor that these were donated. They were speechless when they saw some of the numbers. We donated: 201 hats, 38 blankets and 1 bib that is a reminder not to pick the baby up under their arms. Love this idea and I will pursue making these going forward.
More to come.
