Finding My Voice and Having It Heard

Saturday.  Back at the hospital but really rested and relaxed and with clean hair.

Yesterday was a whirlwind of people listening and things happening.  The room was cleaned and the fridge full of really old food was cleared out and the head nurse came to discuss issues regarding how this part of the hospital is so very different than the Hem/Onc floor and there is a meeting set up with the head of dietary and we are going to add some other people and .......

But this very lovely, full of really green lettuce and good lemons came out of the kitchen.  Along with a great plate of strawberries and lots of oreos and milk.

The kitchen also worked on getting our roommate Katie some beef broth ramen that she was Craving.  They were both so happy.  

When they are so sick and have lost so much and are not able to go out into the world and everything is dangerous and it is not possible to even be touched by the world, something warm and satisfying is wonderful.  I would hope that the Chef would come as meet the kids he made happy, maybe next time.

Thank-you for making it happen Chef.

The omelet was wonderful the satsumas are great and she has ordered her favorite BLT.  

I love progress.

Congratulations, that food looks really healthy and TASTY! Way to be effective, cuz, and everyone will benefit (including the chef who might actually begin to enjoy his job when he gets some of that positive feedback you just know is going to happen). Bon appetite, M-E!

Thanks, Chef Walter!! That salad looks great, and I know how very much it's appreciated. The hospital nearest to me, Valley Medical Center, offers Room Service all the time. They have some great food on the menu. I'm sure the head chef would be available to chat, should you desire to do so. In the meantime, I'm so glad to hear Mary-Elizabeth is eating food that is really GOOD for her! Thanks again!
