[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 136162, member: 1697"] Susiestar- do you work at our RMH? LOL----Actually I did sit crying in there with the houuse manager one day......and that sounds almost like what she said to me! Me and son cannot easily go back there to volunteer when we do not have an appointment, but, when we have an appointment, we pitch in and do different things that need to be done becuz when I am there since his surgery, I do have the freedom to be able to pitch in, now. From home, we can only send money here and there, but when we are there, we do things like clean the fridges, and ovens....weed the yard, bring donations with us. AND we formed bonds with several of the other parents---since I amnot a morning bird, I was always up in the day room when other parents came trekking back form hospital, and I would sit with them, let them talk, make them dinner.....and my son would play with their other children. The RMH is a truly amazing and wonderful place. Me and son found ourself at our first one after an outpatient MRI had adverse side effects on my son....and we had gone into the city on public transporrtation, planning on going home the same way. The hospital would not keep him but did not want him to go far, and he could not walk. I could not cary him. RMH was our savior. We had asked eye surgeon if there was a RMH by where eye surgery was done. Surgeon had no other children patients at the time.....he had no info- so we did not benefit from it for months. Finally, just like I self referred us to SHriners previously, I self referred us to RMH and they did their legwork to find out that yes, my son was a patient at the uni hospital.....even tho the doctor was working out of the adult hospital-----they welcomed us. AND then I worked with RMH staff to get word out to adult hospital that the children THERE -- their families needed to know RMH was available for them, too. The volunteers at RMH are more than amazing. I have met some very incredible people! And the parents of the children are also an awesome group of warrior parents! AND the kids? Incredible kids!
