We got some amazing advice the first time Annie was hospitalized about how she'd experience the stay based on how we "spun it." This proved to be very true and very helpful. By staying upbeat and open about it we kept embarrassment and fear out of the equation for her. It also helps us now because she doesn't have any bad memories from her last hospitalizations. She was worried if the new hospital would have as nice a room as the last one and if she'd have a private room. Thus we are happy to report that she is in the new wing with a private room and a private bathroom (there are some advantages to diseases of the immune system). Room 4106. Her nurse today is Chelsea and her assistant is Candy. Maybe we'll spin this round as a stay at the "Candy Land" hotel. Appointment with doctor shortly.
If anyone can put a good spin on this it's you guys.
