11-17-07 These are pictures of Chris at the Parkway Hotel. Our home away from home until Nov. 26th. I have not kept updated as much as I would have liked. We could not get the internet. The social workers could not figure out where or how to get us to either a hotel or Ronald McDonald House with Chris being on bedrest so she sent us to the Shriners Hospital via ambulance and we were there 2 days. The care was great but we were in a 3 bed ward with 2 other kids that had infections---on antibiotics for a while but I was too nervous Chris was going to catch something. I think I caused such a rukus they were glad to get me out of there. I ended up having Chris transferred via private ambulance to the hotel which is connected to the hospital. What a site---coming into the hotel via ambulance/stretcher--(I had to make sure the stretcher fit into the elevator and if it would have been 1/4 inch more he would not have fit---he has to lay flat or 10 degree tilt only) I have been taking care of him here--I had gotten all sorts of needed items from Childrens when Chris was in the hospital ---from turning pads to bedpans. The housekeeping department here has been phenomenal in helping to keep the room super clean and put a bed board under the mattress to make it firmer. There is a Applebee's on the lower floor which opens at 10am and closes at 11pm. Bob went to the grocery store and stocked our fridge and there is a continental breakfast here at the Hotel. Let me tell you----he has a large appetite!! He is doing very well as you can see in the pictures. Incision lines look good. The room pictures are all the cards, E-mails and balloons we received while at Childrens--this was taken the day we were discharged from the hospital at Childrens.
