Home Again! + update + Birthday

Peggy is one of the APN 's (Advanced Practice Nurse) who helped Deb so much a few years ago. Because Deb is now back in the Chemo clinic, we are getting to renew old friendships.

 

 

Nadine Baxter is the APN who was when Deb 'crashed' several years ago.Nadine had spent years as an emergency room nurse.  She moved heaven and earth to get Deb admitted to the special seventh floor Myeloma section of the hospital. For the first time, Nadine told us that she thought she would lose Deb that day. I was thinking the same thing as I remember the horribleness that resulted in an eleven day stay in that special unit and Deb only being aware for two of those days.

Deb and I credit Nadine with saving Deb's life. Thanks, Nadine! 

View from 'the chair'

There are video displays all around to explain medical facts and to acknowledge those whose financial support has helped create this wonderful place.

John Jackson is a cancer patient who plays piano very well. He used to live in Augusta, Ga. His beautiful playing lofted throughout the twelve story atrium and has such a calming affect on everyone.

Sitting next to him enjoying the music was another new classmate from Warner Robins. This has been Georgia week in Arkansas!

You might notice that Deb looks great in these pix. As we flew home yesterday afternoon, she said that she had not felt so good since she was first diagnosed. PTL!

The ides of March {March 15 th if you are not into Shakespeare} is Deb's birthday!
